Well, I think I'm over thinking this whole thing
About believing in something I cannot see
'Cause when I think about it
I think there's no doubt about it
I do it every single day

Well, it's just like the air
No one knows where it comes or where it goes
But when I breathe in I believe again and again

So if the whole wide world says You're not there
Well, I still know You're there
And even if they call me crazy
I don't care, I still know You're there

And if they say there's no such thing
As Heaven or a God who waits for me
I just point to the air
And I know You're there, yeah, yeah
And I know You're there, yeah, yeah

Well, I had a science teacher
Who tried to make me a believer
That evolution made this earth
But I can't give a big bang credit for this whole thing
Life is too beautiful for that to be true

Well, it's just like a child, a new born baby
There were no two, the same tiny toes, finger prints
And with that thought I rest my case

So if the whole wide world says You're not there
Well, I still know You're there
And even if they call me crazy
I don't care, I still know You're there

And if they say there's no such thing
As Heaven or a God who waits for me
Well, I just point to the air
And I know You're there, yeah, yeah
And I know You're there, yeah, yeah

When a nation cries, when a loved one dies
When we wonder why, I still know You're there
When the nights are long in a world gone wrong
There's still a feeling so strong that tells me You're there

You're so undeniable
You're so unconfidable
And your love is so reliable
It tells me You're there

So, if the whole wide world says You're not there
Well, I still know You're there
Let them all call me crazy
I don't care, I still know You're there

And if they say there's no such thing
As Heaven or a God who waits for me
Well, I just point to the air
You know that I just point to the air
And I know You're there, yeah, yeah

And I know You're there, yeah, yeah
I know You're there, yeah, yeah
See I know You're there, yeah, yeah
I know You're there

If you wanna make history
You gotta stand right up for what you believe
If you wanna make history
You gotta stand right up for what you believe

If you wanna make history
You gotta stand right up for what you believe
If you wanna make history
You gotta stand right up for what you believe

And I believe, I believe, I believe You're there
Yes, I believe, I believe, I believe You're there, yeah, yeah

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
