about

A song about backing yourself and getting into action.

"Have you really missed the boat
Or are you just chicken?
Well the chicken crossed the road
Got to the other side and there the green grass grows, lush and long and wild"

lyrics

Believe
(B.R. Wood)

Where do you start?
Where does anyone?
Look into you heart where the dreams come from
In some hidden place they lie in eager longing
They’re waiting to be made
Can you hear them calling
So easy to ignore
So many fine reasons
The same old excuses for every new season
But they know who you are and they want to set you free
And they know that you can do it
You’ve just got to

Believe
in what you can’t see
You can have it be Believe
You got to believe
Wake up from your sleep
What you sow you’ll reap
Believe me

Look around Life is calling.
Calling you on to the dance floor
Go on pick up a few steps
I know you get lost out there
But check out the other dancers
No one’s really sure
No one’s got the answers
You’ve gotta take a leap and be with whatever happens
You’ve got to fall over if you’re ever to get balance
And it mightn’t go to plan there’s no need to understand
But you’ve got to

Believe
in what you can’t see
You can have it be Believe
You got to believe
Wake up from your sleep
What you sow you’ll reap
Believe me

What did you give up on?
What did you settle for?
How long you gonna wait?
What are you waiting for?
When will you be ready?
How will you know?
When are you gonna stop stopping yourself goin’?
They say it’s never too late
What do you reckon?
Have you really missed the boat
Or are you just chicken?
Well the chicken crossed the road
Got to the other side and there the green grass grows, lush and long and wild

In twenty billion years the earth’ll fall into the sun and in the meantime battles are lost and won
What’s the point of it all?
What makes it worth while?
What’s gonna help you sleep?
What’s gonna make you smile?
What’s gonna make a difference on this big blue ball as it hurtles through space
On and on and on and on it goes, so…
Get out your canvas
Get out your pen
Get out your power tools
Get with some friends
Get out of your head
Remember to breathe
Forgive yourself everything

Believe…
in what you can’t see
You can have it be Believe
You got to believe
Wake up from your sleep
What you sow you’ll reap
Believe me
