Belief

Lyrics and Music ©2005 by Bill Roper


Insomnia is better with a guitar in your hands. If nothing else, you can sometimes get a song out of it.

(Chorus)
A               Amaj7        A7                   D       Dm
In the chill of autumn, as I walk through falling leaves,
A             E7          D        A
Looking for a reason to believe.
A               Amaj7           A7          D       Dm
Searching for a vision that I'm hoping to receive,
A             E7          D        A
Looking for a reason to believe.

	D                G          A
	I have walked on many dusty highways
	    C                  D                  A
	And followed paths not knowing where they led.
	G            D                  A
	Everywhere I went, I went there my way,
	    D             Dm             E7
	But now I need to know what lies ahead.

	It comes to me in darkness when I'm dreaming
	With nearly form enough to touch and feel,
	But is it just another midnight seeming
	Or just a chance this vision might be real?

	Is there magic in the power of believing
	Or hope in some celestial appeal?
	Could you fail, because you're frightened of achieving?
	Can you want something enough to make it real?

(Chorus, then alternate chorus)
In the wee hours of the morning, past and future interleave,
Finding a new reason to believe.
And the threads of time are tangled, but I'm learning how to weave,
Finding a new reason to believe.

A             E7          D       Dm     A
Finding a new reason to believe.
