Chilliwack – I Believe Lyrics 12 years ago
This song bookmarks a time in my past when I was changing and someone befriended me who shared the same music scope as I did. Sort of like the old chant " Someone must be talking to me from the back of the radio." It was haunting and so beautiful as it applied a hope-bandage to my hurt.

Sheryl Crow – I Shall Believe Lyrics 12 years ago
I'm new to this forum and am not sure if this "huh?" was a reply or a prompt. If it meant I was not understood, I'm sorry.

To clarify, I was stating that it sounds like a religious reference using spiritual terms, and I hope that the lyrics were using them in that context and not just a way to use them for one's own gain. Hope that's better?

Sheryl Crow – I Shall Believe Lyrics 12 years ago
Being of Christian evangelistic faith, this haunting song well describes the inner worship of a broken spirit whose heart needs redeeming. The symbolic phrases
" Lay your hands over me", and "I shall believe", as well as " I do believe" are very typical of someone who has been spirit re-born. Results of this faith- believing reveals the expected changesand baptismal elation.
Doubt and the human condition of vulnerability which beg for foundation are eerily repeated as if on knees. I hope the song wasn't a commercial ploy and that she is drawing from her own honest experience since celebrity is so very unnatural and requires more than intellectual ascent, but true spiritual comfort.
