Here in my hand I hold a feather
And by it's power I can fly
But should it fall to earth forever
Still my belief will lift me high
If we could harness all the love that's in our heart
In a touch we could illuminate the dark (and I believe)
I believe in the triumph of the spirit
Over pain and impossible odds
I believe in the wonder of forgiveness
From a wise and compassionate god
I have seen all the miracles we can achieve
If we believe
I feel the weight of your confusion
The hollow hurt of deep despair
We were the children of illusion
In those days of innocence we shared
Must we always burn the castle to the ground
To realize the paradise we've lost and found (still I believe)
I believe in the triumph of the spirit
Over pain and impossible odds
I believe in the wonder of forgiveness
From a wise and compassionate god
I have seen all the miracles we can achieve
If we believe
For I have seen the mighty rose rising
From the cracks of the crumbling streets
I have seen the proud eagle flying
From the ashes of defeat
I have seen the power deep inside of you and me
When we believe, when we believe
I believe in the pride of man
I believe in his master plan
I believe that no one stand alone
I believe that it's nobody's right
To play god, to take a life
I believe that we've gotta fight till every child is home
We believe in the triumph of the spirit
Over pain and impossible odds
We believe in the wonder of forgiveness
From a wise and compassionate god
I have seen all the miracles we can achieve
If we believe
For I have seen the mighty rose rising
From the cracks of the crumbling streets
I have seen the proud eagle flying
From the ashes of defeat
I have seen the power deep inside of you and me
If we believe, if we believe
