You Better Believe

Just some lyrics I wrote

  

 

It was a simple run to the quick stop

For some cigarettes and beer

When a man appeared from out of the dark

Looking like he needed handout.

I tried to pretend I didn’t see him

Cause my mood was in a hard place

And somehow he must have seen

Inside my soul when he said.

 

You better believe

No one can do it for you

You better believe

So fate will never kill you

You better believe

Or no one will ever know you

You better believe

Then faith will never fail you

 

Kneeling before the woman I love

With a ring and nervous hand

Asking her to be my beautiful bride

As a tear ran down her face.

She looked me in the eye with pain

And said, “I don’t think I’d be a good wife.”

Not knowing what to do all I could say

Were the words that saved me.

 

You better believe

No one can do it for you

You better believe

So fate will never kill you

You better believe

Or no one will ever know you

You better believe

Then faith will never fail you

 

A few years later on the street

She was looking so happy baby in hand

Greeting me with a warm smile

Telling me I saved her life.

As I walked away I gave thanks

To that angel with a dirty face

For the two lives he graced

With those lines I’ll always remember

 

You better believe

No one can do it for you

You better believe

So fate will never kill you

You better believe

Or no one will ever know you

You better believe

Then faith will never fail you

[Norma J. Jessee]

Dale, this is absolutely FANTASTIC. I love it. It contains a powerful message. We have to believe not only in ourselves but in God, or we are nothing. believing in ourselves gives us strength and courage and self confidence.

Great rhythm flow and the chorus is powerful.
Love it, Love it, Love it.

check spelling on line 21 second word. look (looked)

[An owl on the moon]

Such a powerful thread running through your song, soulful and solid. The story is so gripping and believable. Amazing song, Dale!

sweet lyrics, wish i could hear it set to tune.

[Gheeneil]

This is truly a beautiful piece with a very inspiring message. Just powerful! As Blaise Pascal said, "Belief is a wise wager". I enjoyed this.

[Ellen Hammond]

Wow! This is a beautiful emotion and faith stirring song/poem. I love the chorus it really drives the message home.

[Katherine Wyatt]

This is wonderful.. I think it would make excellent lyrics!

[Anastasia Starlena]

Great piece very well written. A truth that a lot of people do not see. Belief is half of most battles. Great lyrics.

[Linda Stinson]

Well this is a nice poem. I loved it a lot. I thought it was a new one but I can see now it has been around for awhile. Great write cowboy, it is amazing what you can find at the quick stop. You can find a life. Who would have thought?

[Gandré]

I came to read again.. and thought I would also answer "I won't be a good wife". You made this poem or lyrics promising positive message for it is truth that it is us who have to believe at good future than the others believe. I enjoyed this once again, sweet lovely great lyrics. Thanks for leaving me review on my piece, Dale. Be well.
