I Believe

One belief that gave rise to a nation

Etched in our history

A future carved in stone

Foundation of what was

Yet to come to light

A people reduced to slaves

Never given the right to say

I believe

I believe you can never take that away

I believe I cannot lie blind

To fight for a right to be

I will give my life

Believe

With dove amongst a murder of crows

A martyr in disguise wearing a robe of gold

Outstretched arm hides

Cracked smile lies

Pleasant words try

But no one can deny that

I believe

I believe you can never take that away

I believe I cannot lie blind

To fight for a right to be

I will give my life

Believe

Beneath the star, the battle lines are drawn tonight

A child runs for cove, holds his mother tight

To take a life comes too easily

How can one live when you must die for your beliefs

Can't control myself

I see something else

Gotta control myself

Take me away

Gotta speak my mind

Too many walking blind

Gonna have to speak my mind

I believe
