I Do Believe


Weakened by the turmoils of the world I am contained By the television screens that speak of the cruelties And hinders my heart day after day I find it a blessing to make it through a day's worth of school Praying that it won't be my last That "I love you" in the morning spoken to my mother I hope won't be the last thing said that's stuck forever in the past I find it a blessing to be able to enjoy a movie Without worrying about the terrors that creep in the night But seldomly I look up to the heavens For reassurance that everything will be alright I find it a blessing to be in top shape And to be able to run worry-free I wear a cross upon my chest as I cross the finish line Because I know that it could have been me I am made stronger by the turmoils of the world I have been set free By the television screens that speak of the cruelties God will protect me and in that I do believe
