one belief that gave rise to a nation
etched in our history
a future carved in stone
foundation of what was
yet to come to light
a people reduced to slaves
never given the right to say
i believe
i believe you can never take that away
i believe i cannot lie blind
to fight for a right to be
i will give my life
believe
with dove amongst a murder of crows
a martyr in disguise wearing a robe of gold
outstretched arm hides
cracked smile lies
pleasant words try
but no one can deny that
i believe
i believe you can never take that away
i believe i cannot lie blind
to fight for a right to be
i will give my life
believe
beneath the star, the battle lines are drawn tonight
a child runs for cove, holds his mother tight
to take a life comes too easily
how can one live when you must die for your beliefs
can't control myself
i see something else
gotta control myself
take me away
gotta speak my mind
too many walking blind
gonna have to speak my mind
i believe |
