BELIEVE
(An aria from the Woody Guthrie Opera,
Woody for the People)
I believe in redemption
I believe in the Truth
I believe there’s a moment when all that is good
comes shining through
I believe in transition
I believe change is good
It’s the steady confusion of life that transforms
us from old into new
And I believe … nothing could be so fine
As Love and Forgiveness … and Mercy Devine
I believe in remorse
that forgiveness is Truth
And that nothing else matters as much as the
love between me and you
And I believe … nothing could be so fine
As Love and Forgiveness … and Mercy Devine
