What emotional weight do these lyrics below communicate or fail to?
Frank Sinatra:
I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows,
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, a candle grows,
I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come to show the way,
I believe, I believe….
Don Williams:
But I believe in love,
I believe in babies,
I believe in Mom and Dad,
And I believe in you…
Whitney Houston:
I believe the children are our future,
Teach them well and let them lead the way,
Show them all the beauty they posses inside…
R. Kelly:
I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky,
I believe about it every night and day, spread my wings and fly away,
I believe I can soar, I see me running through that open door,
I believe I can fly..
Blessid Union of Soals:
I believe that love is the answer,
I believe that love will find the way..
With me, belief only carries so much weight. Beliefs have no proof, yet are the exact kinds of flighty things people create wars over to make their point. Or the kind of thing some people ram down people’s throats. If you want a STRONG message about “beliefs” listen to the song by John Mayer about belief – on the Continuum album. That says a lot.
