I Believe.

 

I believe that I am lost.

I believe that everyone has once been lost.

I believe that I don’t need to be found,

Because one day I will find myself, and maybe I’ll stick around.

 

I believe in the second star to the right,

That an eternal faith can sweep me away in the night.

I do believe in Fairies, I do, I do.

But I doubt that having trust is easy to do.

 

I believe that every day is a new day,

That the rising of the sun will keep my fears at bay.

Though, sometimes, I’m sure that I’m not good enough,

That my sky is falling and I don’t know what to do.

 

I believe that everyone is equal,

No matter how they’re shaped inside.

I believe that if you’re meant to fly,

All you have to really do is try.

 

I believe in love at first sight,

In dancing away the endless night.

I believe in chance encounters, and pre-midnight strolls,

In losing a shoe as the bells toll.

 

I believe that everybody is a little strange,

That everyone is unique in his or her own little way.

And even though I’m mad as a hatter,

I can see that all our differences don’t matter.

 

I believe in destiny,

In finding my way through the fog and the mist.

Like when King Arthur reclaimed his throne,

I believe we’ll all find a place of our own.

 

I don’t believe in social status.

I’ll sit where I please,

with whom I please,

 when I please,

and I’ll remain quite at ease.

 

I believe in our inalienable rights,

And that if you’ve been wronged you should put up a fight.

I believe justice prevails for the good,

And that times have changed, so our ideas must advance too.

 

I believe in the spirit of friendship

That love lasts forever no matter the struggles.

That whispers, and giggles, and laughter, and joy

Will live in our memories like childhood toys.

 

I believe in the need to be free,

To make my own decisions.

I believe in my judgment,

And I believe that I need to live my life, for me.

 

I believe that the footprints of those before us,

Are just an outline or guide.

Eventually we make our own path,

And leave our footprints behind.

 

I believe that I am a match for any man.

And I know that a man will not define me.

I believe in fighting for those I love,

In fighting for what I believe

 

I believe in moving on,

From mistakes, from the past, from what we’ve done wrong.

I don’t mean to leave it all behind,

 But I believe that I need to learn from what I’ve done and keep walking on.

 

I believe in the benefits of hard work,

Strong will, and dedication.

That if you put in the effort,

You will reap your reward.

 

I believe in everyday heroes.

That we all have the power to make a change,

And so I believe we all have the responsibility,

To make that change.

 

I believe that I need to just follow my heart.

I may still be lost,

But lost is a great place to start.
