I been in a cave
Forty days
Only a spark
To light my way

I wanna give out
I wanna give in
This is our crime
This is our sin

But I still believe
I still believe
Through the pain
And through the grief

Through the lies
Through the storms
Through the cries
And through the wars

Oh, I still believe
I still believe

Flat on my back
Out at sea
Hopin' these waves
Don't cover me

I'm turned and tossed
Upon the waves
When the darkness comes
I feel the grave

But I still believe
I still believe
Through the cold
And through the heat

Through the rain
And through the tears
Through the crowds
And through the cheers

Oh, I still believe
Oh, I still believe

I'll march this road
I'll climb this hill
Upon my knees
If I have to

I'll take my place
Upon this stage
I'll wait 'til the end of time
For you like everybody else

I'm out on my own
Walking the streets
Look at the faces
That I meet

I feel like I
Like I wanna go home
What do I feel?
What do I know?

But I still believe
Yes, I still believe
Through the shame
And through the grief

Through the heartache
Through the tears
Through the waiting
Through the years

For people like us
In places like this
We need all the hope
We can get

Oh, I still believe
And I still believe
Oh, I still believe
Oh, I still believe

    My Interpretation

    So I just discovered this song by watching the Waco mini-series, specifically the part where David Koresh is singing it in his window. At first I took the lyrics as having very much religious undertones but listening to it throughout the day I actually believe now it's about depression and going through a hard time knowing there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
