I Believe

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
 White 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
