The Covenant of Belief
I believe
I believe in hope
And I believe it’s a good thing to share my soul
And I believe it’s a good thing to scream and shout
I believe in tears
I believe
I believe in the possibilities of joy
I believe in confession
And I believe it’s a good thing to purge your mind
And I believe it’s a good thing to unwind on another
I believe in commitment
I believe
And I believe that there’s someone who cares to listen
And I believe that there’s nothing wrong in trusting another
I believe
I believe in sacrifice
And I believe in the sharing of our burdens with another
And I believe in the understanding of another
I believer in redemption
I believe
I believe in aid
And I believe in asking for it when I need it the most
And I believe in asking for it when I cannot understand it all
I believe in chance
I believe
I believe in the minds of others to see that which I cannot
I believe
These are things I believe in
I believe
I’m still here because I believe in the fairy tale love
I’m still here because I believe in life and the future
I believe
So must you
