I Believe Lyrics

One belief that gave rise to a nation
Etched in our history
A future carved in stone

Foundation of what was
Yet to come to light
A people reduced to slaves
Never given the right to say

I believe
I believe you can never take that away
I believe I cannot lie blind
To fight for a right to be
I will give my life
Believe

With dove amongst a murder of crows
A martyr in disguise wearing a robe of gold

Outstretched arm hides
Cracked smile lies
Pleasant words try
But no one can deny that

I believe
I believe you can never take that away
I believe I cannot lie blind
To fight for a right to be
I will give my life
Believe

Beneath the star, the battle lines are drawn tonight
A child runs for cove, holds his mother tight
To take a life comes too easily
How can one live when you must die for your beliefs

Can't control myself
I see something else
Gotta control myself
Take me away

Gotta speak my mind
Too many walking blind
Gonna have to speak my mind
I believe

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
