R.E.M. – I Believe Lyrics 18 years ago
I think Shanier's comment sums a lot up - there's something about this song that just makes you want to throw off any shackles that might be holding you back, throw caution to the wind and just do what you feel.

Stipe is a talented guy - I admire REM's music a great deal and his lyrics are so rich.... but there's something about this song that makes it a breath of fresh air everytime I hear it. The following just says it all for me:

Trust in your calling, make sure your calling's true
Think of others, the others think of you
Silly rule golden words make practice
Practice makes perfect
Perfect is a fault and fault lines change

What a great song.
