Lyrics:

I believe there are some debts
That we never can repay
I believe there are some words
That you can never unsay
And I don't know a single soul
Who didn't get lost along the way

I believe in socks and gloves
Knit out of soft grey wool
And that there's a place in heaven for those
Who teach in public school
And I know I get some things right
But mostly I'm a fool

[Chorus]
I believe in a good strong cup of ginger tea
And all these shoots and roots will become a tree
All I know is I can't help but see
All of this as so very holy

I believe in jars of jelly
Put up by careful hands
I believe most folks are doing
About the best they can
And I know there are some things
That I will never understand

[Chorus 2]
I believe there's healing in the sound of your voice
And that a summer tomato is a cause to rejoice
And that following a song was never really a choice
Never really

[Bridge]
I believe in a good long letter written on real paper and with real pen
I believe in the ones I love and know I'll never see again
I believe in the kindness of strangers and the comfort of old friends
And when I close my eyes to sleep at night it's good to say
"Amen"

I believe that life's comprised of smiles and sniffles and tears
And in an old coat that still has another good year
And I know that I get scared sometimes but all I need is here

[Chorus]
I believe in a good strong cup of ginger tea
And all these shoots and roots will become a tree
All I know is I can't help but see
All of this as so very holy

I believe

Lyrics:

There's a crack in the glass where the water gets out
There's a dusty wind when the heart's in drought
And the map of the world looks as if true north
Disappeared entirely

I can live divided or bent
Conspire in my own diminishment
Or believe in the better world I've dreamt
That grows from inside out

So today I'll drop stones into the river
And the current takes them out into forever
And the truth is most of us will never know
Where our best intentions go
And still I'll drop another stone

So we trust in a dim flashlight
And always walk into available light
I'm not a woman inclined to bet
But it's never failed me yet

So today I'll drop stones into the river
And the current takes them out into forever
And the truth is most of us will never know
Where our best intentions go
And still I'll drop another stone

So today we'll drop stones into the river
And the current takes them out into forever
And the truth is most of us will never know
Where our best intentions go
And still we'll drop another stone

The empty self still hears the call
To live in the center of the ache and awe
It's there the hope of the whole world shines
And yes, there still is time

So today I'll drop stones into the river
And the current takes them out into forever
And the truth is most of us will never know
Where our best intentions go
And still I'll drop another stone
