i believe in you
will always do
.
stand up every blessing and be counted in thy name
.
i believe in you
will always do
.
thine is gift most bountiful
can soundly change the game
.
i believe in you
will always do
.
i wish
i wish
that you could see
what i see
would give my all
to see you standing tall
with faith abiding
doing that precisely which comes naturally to you
moving every mountain to make rapturous the view
proving there exists a light
in every darkened corner kissed
i wish
i wish
that you could see
what i see
.
i wish
i wish
that you could see
what i see
.
i wish
i wish
that you could see
what i see
.
stand up every blessing and be counted in thy name
for thine is gift most bountiful
can soundly change the game
not a word of praise unfounded
this or any other day
has to be another way to make you see
what i see most decisively
.
i believe in you
will always do
.
try to be in my shoes
i do cordially invite thee
to walk without a fraught thought for the course and where it might lead
trust your gut and bust it trying
just enough to testify the ancient rite of flying
soaring
scoring skies with eyes adoring
braiding dead of night to morning
second sight imploring the like-minded to confide their stories
.
i believe in you
will always do
.
night need not affright when there is daylight to be spun
glory knows no measure of the fame accrued by one
come together
weather storms
find the tethers
kind in form
go one better
try them all
teach them how to rise from fall
use that shout
put out the call
show devout
to timeless cause
do not seek the eyes of fools
or fools are all you’ll see
take the fall and make it steep
for blindest faith endorses greatest leaps
.
take the fall and make it steep
.
i believe in you
will always do
.
play the game for e’er prevailing keeps
(i believe in you)
.
i wish
i wish
that you could see
what i see
(i believe in you)
.
the kind of brave that sides with resolution
not affray
the kind obliged to fall in
calling truce of night and day
reuniting light and shade
underwriting blindest faith
guiding lost souls
finding ways to aid their plight
to plain defy reprisal raids
escape the blight and ride out pouting tidal waves
.
i believe in you
will always do
.
i wish
i wish
that you could see
what i see
i hope and pray
that you already do
just one reminder timely
all it takes to reacquire the hops
from crops anew
concoct a heady brew
i believe in you
will always do
(i believe in you
will always do)
subject not to winds of change
underpinned unstinting faith
dignified a single wish
to see what i see
time and time again
(time and time and time and time and time and time again)
a mighty brave with flame so bright
both sun and moon ablaze in twine
the kind of wings that sing a song of everlong when they take flight
night need not affright when there is daylight to be spun
glory knows no measure of the fame accrued by one
.
come together
weather storms
find the tethers
kind in form
go one better
try them all
teach them how to rise from fall
use that shout
put out the call
show devout
to righteous cause
(time and time again)
.
divine delight projected
through foresight in kind directed
to the redefined light vested
from a redirected source
with this one kiss
i reminisce an idealistic dream
i wish
i wish
that you could see
what i see
.
stand up every blessing and be counted in thy name
for thine is gift most bountiful
can soundly change the game
.
