about

Paul JM played about perfectly on this, and Sarah channels Mary Lou Lord, who she's probably never even heard, but who I'm a huge fan of. I like playing this song!

lyrics

I Believe

I don’t believe in intentions
we’ve all heard the cliche
the road to hell leads nowhere
and I don’t care how it’s paved

I believe in you and me
every great prayer begins with we
we show up and we roll up our sleeves
and that’s how the world changes

I don’t believe in Karma
there’s too much evil that goes unseen
castes and classes, dogma and dharma
or anything which comes between you and me

I believe in you and me
every great prayer begins with we
we show up and we roll up our sleeves
and that’s how the world changes

I don’t believe in authority
because anyone can be bought
and all the trouble in the world
comes from trying not to get caught

I don’t believe in grace
if I know I’m forgiven all I’ll do is sin
I believe in looking down at my feet
and feeling the dirt they’re standing in

I believe in you and me
every great prayer begins with we
we show up and we roll up our sleeves
and that’s how the world changes

I believe…… in you and me
I believe….. in you and me
