I Still Believe Lyrics
I been in a cave
For 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
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
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 till the end of time
For you like everybody else
I'm out on my own
Walkin' 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
That we can get
Oh, I still believe
For forty days
Only a spark
To light my way
I wanna give in
This is our crime
This is our sin
I still believe
Through the pain
And through the grief
Through the storms
Through the cries
And through the wars
Out at sea
Hopin' these waves
Don't cover me
Upon the waves
When the darkness comes
I feel the grave
I still believe
Through the cold
And through the heat
And through the tears
Through the crowds
And through the cheers
I'll climb this hill
Upon my knees
If I have to
Upon this stage
I'll wait till the end of time
For you like everybody else
Walkin' the streets
Look at the faces
That I meet
Like I wanna go home
What do I feel?
What do I know?
Yes, I still believe
Through the shame
And through the grief
Through the tears
Through the waiting
Through the years
In places like this
We need all the hope
That we can get

For me this has strong religious overtones about keeping faith thru all the trials through your life and as for me “I still believe “
Jesus Christ my lord and savior
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.
@m103712220 you were on the right track at first. The song is about waiting for the return of Jesus and everything the author has struggled through in life; while maintaining his faith. Regardless of the difficulty, repeatedly reinforcing the idea that regardless of the loss or hardship,’he will “still believe”. “Forty days” is an allusion to the Bible stories that often used that number (Noah, David & Goliath, Moses, etc. It’s also the amount of time that passed between the crucifixion and ascension of Jesus). I think the waves are representative of the sea of doubt that exists around the...

I think the waves are representative of the sea of doubt that exists around the faith of any individual but could also allude to depression, as you stated, I suppose. But, I tend to think that it’s still referring to the struggle of maintaining faith in doubtful or painful moments.
This song is about keeping your faith no matter what happens in your life
@Panzer215 @panzer215 it’s got that defiant hope like you’re standing in the storm but you’re still here
