I Believe in Believing

I believe in fairy tales, happily-ever-afters and wishing on a star.

I believe the sun will come out tomorrow,

And that tears spilled on innocent cheeks will be dried and forgotten.

I am sure, that after the thunderstorm,

Somewhere a rainbow reaches across the dismal sky,

And at the bottom of that rainbow, for someone, there lies a pot of gold.

I believe that every man and woman is born with a light,

A light that starts within our hearts, sits on our uncertain shoulders,

Twinkling through our enlightened eyes.

I believe, that in believing,

Great miracles erupt out of hopelessness, soothing, healing, loving.

Because of belief, white knights conquer evil,

Ogres are like onions, and chambermaids can become princesses.
