‘I Believe’

“I’ve been out walking for hours.

I’ve got something on my mind.

How did we get here? Where are we going?

And why is life so hard?

I read the stories, see the photographs.

World’s in a crazy space.

I’ve got to hold on to my dreams;

There’s just no other place.

There’s just no other place.

Chorus:

I believe

We can change anything.

I believe

We can rise above this.

I believe

There’s a reason for everything.

I believe

In my dream.

I’ve seen the shadows of the living.

Seen them turn and walk away.

And I keep searching for the right words

To send these thoughts away.

There’s a picture I like to look at,

A picture of a beautiful face.

And I see something in her eyes,

Sends me to a better place.

Sends me to a better place.

Chorus:

I believe

We can change anything.”   (‘I Believe’ song lyrics by Joe Satriani)

“Lord, take me where You want me to go;

Let me meet who You want me to meet;

Tell me what You want me to say, and

Keep me out of Your way.”   (Fr. Mychal Judge, OFM, New York City Chaplain who died in 9/11)
