I Live To Believe

I live to believe I treasure tomorrows I measure yesterdays I forget sorrows I grab praises Every story unfolds Even when untold My footsteps and breathes Are the threads of my will and my fate The sound of my name Will always feel the same An existence in an age No other being can replace The dimensions of your life Run differently from mine Time is the thing that fills space between Now and everything yet to be seen I seek everything unknown Bygones are all things gone I am reborn with every sunrise I never succumb to the surrender of darkness Today is for meaning, tomorrow is for hope I own the future by dreaming it, and because time won’t stop A moment may be snippet of time But a moment can be all that counts I live because I believe I live to believe I live
