I Believe (In Everything) Lyrics
I believe in everything
from a river running backwards
to a bee when it stings
and I believe
in the voices out here
telling me to hold on
but let go of my fear
a childhood imagination
has been my salvation
one cloud at a time
lord I’m dreaming
let me look upon her
one more time
this beauty that I love – she’s why
I believe in everything, in everything I’m a believer
I believe in what I can’t change
in a hard lesson learned
and the strength from my pain
and I believe
in what I can’t prove
in the joy of not knowing
and the misunderstood
let go of my past
let go of my future
one cloud at a time
yes I’m dreaming
let me look upon her
one more time
this beauty that I love
before she’s gone, before she’s gone
I believe in everything, in everything I’m a believer
I believe in everything, in everything I’m a believer
the memory of one moment
is the beginning and the end of who I am
I believe in everything, in everything I’m a believer
I believe in everything, in everything I’m a believer
I believe in everything, in everything I’m a believer
I believe in everything, in everything I’m a believer
tell me about something tell me about something you believe in
tell me about something tell me about something you believe in
tell me about something tell me about something you believe in
from a river running backwards
to a bee when it stings
and I believe
in the voices out here
telling me to hold on
but let go of my fear
has been my salvation
one cloud at a time
lord I’m dreaming
let me look upon her
one more time
this beauty that I love – she’s why
in a hard lesson learned
and the strength from my pain
and I believe
in what I can’t prove
in the joy of not knowing
and the misunderstood
let go of my future
one cloud at a time
yes I’m dreaming
let me look upon her
one more time
this beauty that I love
before she’s gone, before she’s gone
I believe in everything, in everything I’m a believer
is the beginning and the end of who I am
I believe in everything, in everything I’m a believer
I believe in everything, in everything I’m a believer
I believe in everything, in everything I’m a believer
tell me about something tell me about something you believe in
tell me about something tell me about something you believe in

What a beautiful song. It kind of seems like a song that comes together after some sort of suffering, identity crisis where the protagonist may have been too focused on the past (depresssion) or the future (anxiety). Letting go of this view point, and returning to a focus and wonder of nature (common JJ Grey lyrical themes) leads us back to the beginning, a moment of faith and belief in ourselves and ... well everything!
I have long been drawn to this song, and I really like JJ Grey's lyrics!
"I believe in the voices out here telling me to hold on but let go of my fear"
An oxymoron sorta..his fears are what he's holding on to. What the voices are telling him to hold onto are exactly what he's afraid of; I believe we can all relate deep down inside...he believes in everything, but, imagination has bee and is still his salvation; A childhood imagination helps him to survive in a world he doesn't believe in.
I disagree with stellaiola.
I think when he says the voices are "telling me to hold on, but let go of my fear", he means that they are saying "hold on because you're in for a ride" if he is able to let go of his fears. Things can change in huge ways and very quickly when you are able to rid yourself of certain fears, and the line is telling him to prepare for that.
