I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, oh I
When the mountain seem too high
And you don′t have the courage nor the strength to climb
And the road you're on won′t end
But still you run
Though you cannot see the finish line
And dark clouds are over you
Your skies no longer blue
You marched on straight ahead
Somehow you made it through
Got to the mountain
And left a path for me
Your victory made history and now
I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, oh, I
When it felt like you were weak
And couldn't fight no more
On the ropes
And it seemed like you was gonna
Run out of breath
When the world was on you shoulder
And the walls were in you way
You leaped and made it over
Through it all you kept the faith
With hope you set us free
You showed us how to dream
And now we can lift our voices
And forever sing
Now's the time to look ahead
And thank our hero′s of the past
And celebrate this victory
Let′s raise the flag cause
I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, l believe, l believe, l believe
Oh, I
And when they tried keep you down
You kept up your head
Never losing sight
You believed in what was right
You endured to the end
Walked through the strongest wind
The storm's over and a new day begins
And when our hope was dying
You brought us healing
And now I got something
To tell my children
I believe (I believe, I believe)
Oh, I believe (I believe, I believe)
Oh, I believe (I believe, I believe)
Oh, oh, I believe (I believe, I believe)
I believe
I believe
Yeah, I believe
I believe
That a change is gonna come
Yes′ it will, yes' it will
See I believe, in the future
That a change is coming to America
To stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Lift every voice and sing
(I believe, I believe, I believe)
Haaaay
(I believe, I believe, oh I believe)
That the soldiers are coming home
I believe, I believe, I believe
That it won′t be long
That a change is gonna come
Say it
I believe
Hey, oh, I believe it
