I believe

Hands up

Eyes closed

Bare feet on the ground

Hear that heartbeat in the crowd (hey!)

I’ve been walking in a straight line

Head down

Heavy like a stone

Every doubt a little landslide

Every fear a place I call my home

But something’s burning in my rib cage

Little spark that just refused to sleep

I tried to crush it into silence

It just kicked back

Started moving my feet

Now my pulse is getting louder

Like a drum that never learned to quit

All the shadows start to tremble

When my body finally leans into it

There’s a circle made of strangers

Paint and sweat and stories on their skin

I can feel their hidden heartbreaks

But the sound is kicking holes in the wind

I was lost in my head for days

Now I’m caught in this tidal wave

Every step is a word I say

Every jump is a promise made (oh!)

I believe

I believe

I believe in this feeling

When the ground starts shaking under our feet

I believe

I believe

I can finally breathe it

All the weight falls off when we move in the heat

If I fall

Lift me up

Keep my body from leaving

Let your hands be the faith that I need

I believe

I believe

I believe in this healing

When we rise as one

I’m finally free

There’s a girl with silver lightning

Drawn in streaks along her arms

Says she danced through every heartbreak

Left the damage written in her scars

There’s a boy who lost his brother

Won’t talk about it when it hurts

But he’s screaming every lyric

Till his lungs shake ashes from the words

There’s a mother in the corner

Eyes red but her hips still sway

Says she never had a moment

Just her own until tonight

Until today

We’re a thousand crooked stories

All colliding in the same wild fire

Every stomp is a confession

Every shout is gasoline for desire

We were ghosts in our separate cages

Now we roar

Every chain displaced

Every scar turning into flames

Every tear washing clean our faces

I believe

I believe

I believe in this feeling

When the ground starts shaking under our feet

I believe

I believe

I can finally breathe it

All the weight falls off when we move in the heat

If I fall

Lift me up

Keep my body from leaving

Let your hands be the faith that I need

I believe

I believe

I believe in this healing

When we rise as one

I’m finally free

[Drums drop to bare tribal groove

Crowd chant]

Left

Right

Heart

Fire

Hands high

Lift higher (hey!)

Say it once

Say it loud

We are more than fear allowed

Say it twice

Shake the ground

We are one untamed sound

I believe

I believe

I believe in this feeling

When the ground starts shaking under our feet

I believe

I believe

I can finally breathe it

All the weight falls off when we move in the heat

If I fall

Lift me up

Keep my body from leaving

Let your hands be the faith that I need

I believe

I believe

I believe in this healing

When we rise as one

I’m finally free (oh yeah)
