I've seen the tears and the heartache, and I felt the pain I've seen the hatred in so many lives, and lost in vain And yet through this darkness there's always a light that shines through And takes me back home Takes me back home All of the promises broken And all of the songs left unsung Seems so far away as I make my way back to you You gave me faith and you gave me a world to believe in You gave me your love to believe in And feeling this love I can rise up above And be strong and be whole once again I know that dreams we hold on to, can just fade away And I know that words can be wasted, with so much to say And I when I feel helpless there's always a hope that shines through And makes me believe Makes me believe And I see for one fleeting moment A paradise under the sun I drift away and I make my way back to you You gave me faith and you gave me a world to believe in You gave me your love to believe in And feeling this love I can rise up above And be strong and be whole once again Life goes on Can leave all sweet sorrow and pain And life, hold on To all that you are To all that we'll be And I can go on once again You gave me faith and you gave me a world to believe in You gave me your love to believe in And feeling this love I can rise up above And be strong and be whole once again You gave me faith and you gave me a world to believe in You gave me your love to believe in And feeling this love I can rise up above And be strong and be whole once again Because your love hears my soul once again I can live and I can dream once again Because you made me believe
