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

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)

A wonderful and well written poem, a pleasure to read your poetry.

[Angelic Darkness]

This is a great poem! Sometimes advice can be given from unexpected things
or people. These words are true. These are great lyrics. We should pay
more graditude to those we wouldn't expect to speak with a wise mind.

Oh Dale, these are some wonderful lyrics! You outdid yourself with this one. Just so beautifully put and so true too. The words flowed and they filled the page with great inspiration. I loved it!!!!!!

[Brianna Brie]

Sweet...just when I think you have out done yourself you go ahead and do it again. This is perfect!! A stranger that reaches into the darkness and speaks life makes for a great poem. So inspirational.
