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
