I Believe - Carrie Newcomer

作词：Carrie Newcomer

作曲：Carrie Newcomer

I believe there are some debts

That we can never repay

And I believe there are some words

That we can never unsay

And I don't know a single soul

Who didn't get lost along the way

I believe in socks and gloves

Knit out of soft grey wool

And that there's a place in heaven for those

Who teach in public schools

And I know I get some things right

But mostly I'm a fool

I believe in a good strong cup of ginger tea

And that

All these shoots and roots will become a tree

All I know is I can't help but see

All of this as so very holy

I believe in jars of jelly

Put up by careful hands

And I believe most folks are doing just

About the best they can

And I know there are some things

That I will never understand

I believe there's healing in the sound of your voice

And that a summer tomato is a cause to rejoice

And that following a song was never really a choice

And never really

I believe in a good long letter

Written on real paper and with real pen

I believe in the ones I love and know

I'll never see again

I believe in the kindness of strangers

And the comfort of old friends

And when I close my eyes to sleep at night

It's good to say amen

Amen

I believe that life's comprised of smiles

And sniffles and tears

And in an old coat that still has another good year

And I know that I got scared sometimes

But all I need is here

I believe in a good strong cup of ginger tea

And that

All these shoots and roots will become a tree

All I know is I can't help but see

All of this as so very holy

I believe

I believe

I believe

I believe

I believe
