I Believe

Chicago

You struck right out of the blue
And turned my head around
And what's a girl to do?
Oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa
A simple twist of fate
Now there ain't no turning back (no)
Sunshine or the pouring rain
Oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa

I'm not the gambling type out looking for a rush
The one thing I'll always do, I'll put my money on your love

Baby, you
You hung the moon and stars that night for me
And I knew right then and there
For you
I'd take a leap of faith 'cause I believe, oh yeah (ooh, ooh, ooh)
I believe (ooh, ooh, ooh), oh yeah (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

I don't know what you've been told
'Bout the things you're doing to me (things you're doing to me)
I can't lie, I was on cloud nine
But it just wasn't enough for me (hey, ooh)
Girl, you take me higher (high)
So high I can't come down
Ooh, I pray for you (hey)
Now I know what I can and can't live without
Sing it, baby

I'm not the gambling type out looking for a rush (looking for a rush, too, baby)
One thing I'll always do, I'll put my money on your love

'Cause, honey, you
You hung the moon and stars that night for me (hey, when did you know it, babe?)
And I knew right then and there (said I knew right then and there, too)
For you
I'd take a leap of faith 'cause I believe, oh yeah (oh yeah)
I believe, oh yeah (oh yeah)
I believe (I believe, oh, oh, oh-oh)

I knew right then and there
I knew right then and there
I knew right then and there
I knew right then and there (I knew)
I knew right then and there
I knew right then and there (oh baby)
I knew right then and there
I knew right then and there
I knew right then and there
I knew right then and there (I knew right then)
I knew right then and there
I knew right then and there
I knew right then and there (baby, baby, baby, baby)
I knew right then and there
I knew right then and there
I knew right then and there

    My Interpretation
    I want to first say that this song means the world to me as it was the first song that my lovely wife and I dance to at our wedding. We both like Chicago music and listened to their music a lot. The meaning of the song to me is one of searching so long to find something and someone to believe in ....... and that this person is ends up saving you from who knows what and from a broken heart. In my case it is everything and it has meant the most to us and the words "I Believe" are inscribed inside of our wedding bands!!!! She did save me and she did come out of the blue in a chance encounter at a local night club was I was only 19 years old. We dated for 1 1/2 years were engaged for 1 1/2 years and have been married for 16+ years now. I think quite often about this song and our relationship ..... I know I still believe in her and I can only hope cause I love u for believes in me !!!!!!!!! Chad & Maria (1994)

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
