I Believe

from The Journey by John Blood

lyrics

Many times I have been on my way
To a victory of humankind but I
Suddenly fall away from the path
And I wish my feet could control my mind ‘cause
I hopelessly run away from the things that make me strong
Then I leave when I see that I get too much too wrong now
The I retreat from my faith
Leaving life to chance but time won’t wait

Chorus
It took me a minute for me to get organised
‘Cause I just couldn’t see it until I opened my eyes
And I now I just live it I don’t need to compromise
‘Cause I live the life I love and I believe
Said I believe

Many times it could be too hard to find a place inna dis here society
And other times it could feel as though you’re just here to be
Whatever someone else wants you to be
And in these times it is necessary to break the chains
That bind the mind and can be the source of much heartache and pain
And even though you might question what you believe
You will never win if you try and fail and don’t try again yeah

Chorus

Love is to open Jah door
And the love of The One is always here
And all we need
So don’t hopelessly run away from the things that make you strong
Plant your feet, find your bearings and mark your destination
Never retreat from your fate
Don’t leave life to chance ‘cause time won’t wait

Might take you a minute for you to get organised ‘cause
You just might not see it until you open your eyes
And then you will live it, you need to compromise ‘cause
You’ll live the life you love and you'll believe

Chorus
