Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I believe that when the hurting and the pain has gone We will be strong, Oh yes we will be strong And I believe that if I'm crying while I write these words Is it absurd? Or am I being real I believe that if you knew just what these tears were for They would just pour like every drop of rain That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe I believe that if you thought for a moment, took your time You would not resign yourself to your fate And I believe that if it's written in the stars, that's fine I can't deny that I'm a Virgo too I believe that if your bristling while you hear this song I could be wrong or have I hit a nerve? That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe I believe that maybe somewhere in the darkness In the nighttime, In the storm In the casino Casino Spanish eyes I believe, no I can't believe that every time you hear a new born scream You just can't see the shaping of a life The shaping of a life
