I Believe |
I believe there are some debts |
That we never can repay |
I believe there are some words |
That you can never unsay |
And I don’t know a single soul |
Who didn’t get lost along the way |
I believe in socks and gloves |
Knit out of soft grey wool |
And that there’s a place in heaven for those |
Who teach in public school |
And I know I get some things right |
But mostly I’m a fool |
Chorus I believe in a good strong cup of ginger tea |
And all these shoots and roots will become a tree |
All I know is I can’t help but see |
All of this as so very holy |
I believe in jars of jelly |
Put up by careful hands |
I believe most folks are doing |
About the best they can |
And I know there are some things |
That I will never understand |
Chorus I believe there’s healing in the sound of your voice |
And that a summer tomato is a cause to rejoice |
And that following a song was never really a choice |
Never really |
Bridge I believe in a good long letter written on real paper and with real pen |
I believe in the ones I love and know I’ll never see again |
I believe in the kindness of strangers and the comfort of old friends |
And when I close my eyes to sleep at night it’s good to say |
«Amen» |
I believe that life’s comprised of smiles and sniffles and tears |
And in an old coat that still has another good year |
Ball I need is here |
Chorus I believe in a good strong cup of ginger tea |
And all these shoots and roots will become a tree |
All I know is I can’t help but see |
All of this as so very holy |
I believe |
