I've seen the tears and the heartache
And Ive felt the pain
I've seen the hatred in so many lives
Lost in vain
And yet through this darkness
There's always a light that shines through
And takes me back home
Takes me back home
All of the promises broken
And all of the songs left unsung
Seem so far away
As I make my way back to you

You gave me faith
And you gave me a world to believe in
You gave me a love to believe in
And feeling this love I can rise up above
And be strong and be whole once again

I know that dreams we hold on to
Can just fade away
And I know that words can be wasted
With so much to say
And I when I feel helpless
There's always a hope that shines through
And makes me believe
Makes me believe

And I see for one fleeting moment
A paradise under the sun
I drift away
And I make my way back to you
You gave me faith
And you gave me a world to believe in
You gave me a love to believe in
And feeling this love I can rise up above
And be strong and be whole once again

Life goes on
Can leave us with sorrow and pain
And I hold on
To all that you are
To all that we'll be
And I can go on once again

You gave me a world to believe in
You gave me a love to believe in
And feeling this love I can rise up above
And be strong and be whole once again

You gave me a world to believe in
You gave me a love to believe in
And feeling this love I can rise up above
And be strong and be whole once again
'Cause your love heals my soul once again
I can live, I can dream once again
'Cause you made me believe
