I've seen the tears and the heartache and I felt the pain I've seen the hatred in so many lives lost in vain And yet through this darkness there's always a light that shines through That 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 a 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 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 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 a love to believe in And feeling this love I can rise up above And be strong and be whole once again Life goes on and leave us with so more in pain And I hold on to all that you are, to all that we'll be And I can go on once again You gave me a world to believe in You gave me a love to believe in And feeling this love I can rise up above And be strong and be whole once again Cuz your love is my soul once again I can live, I can dream once again Cuz you made me believe
