I believe, YES,
I believe and goddammit I'll be an optimist
until the Good Lord takes me away
to a place where only optimists stay.
and Yes I believe, I believe, that all things happen for a reason,
and all the people we've met,
we've met for a reason and
we've known them since atoms started
sharing electrons and since snow saw the
ground for the first time.
I believe, Yes, I believe,
that the "rivers shall open for the righteous,"
and if you're a good person with good intentions
and you do your damnest to do good things
then good things will happen to you,
just by the nature of who you are
and Yes I believe, that
somehow souls get split in heaven and fall
to the earth only to find themselves
over and over again
and maybe it's that glare between two strangers
or maybe it's that friend that listens
to you complain daily,
but sure enough I believe that we're all connected
somehow, someway, and maybe someday
we'll find one another under a peach tree.
I believe in famigle, and that your past
starts with the look your mother gives you
and your future starts with the
way you look into your child's eyes.
Nothing comes in between you and your people.
And I believe that it's much easier
to kill for something you believe in
then to die for it.
I BELIEVE that fortune favors boldness
and that you should never be afraid to stand up
and say, "I THINK THAT IS WRONG!,"
or "DAM IT I LOVE YOU"
and never under any circumstances
should you be afraid to say "I BELIEVE,"
because I believe that at the end of the day
all we really have is belief, and nobody
can take that away.
