I Believe

Nikki Yanofsky

There comes a moment when my heart must stand alone

On this lonely path I’ve chosen

Like a house that’s not a home

Sometimes when I feel I’ve had enough

And I feel like giving up

You willed me to be all I can be

Now nothing can stop me

I believe in the power that comes

From a world brought together as one

I believe together we’ll fly

I believe in the power of you and I

This is the moment we have dreamed of all our lives

We’ll be the change we wish from others

We’ll stand tall for what is right

And in my heart there’ll be no doubt

The arms of the world will come reaching out

And embrace me to be all I can be

Now nothing can stop me

I believe in the power that comes

From a world brought together as one

I believe together we’ll fly

I believe in the power of you and I

I believe in the power of you and I

I believe, I believe, I believe in

I believe, I believe in you

I believe, I believe, I believe in

I believe, I believe in you

I believe, I believe, I believe in you

I believe together we’ll fly

I believe in the power of you and I

I believe the time is right now

To stand tall and make the world proud

I believe together we’ll fly

I believe in the power

I believe in the power that comes

From a world brought together as one

(Of you and I)

I believe together we’ll fly

I believe in the power of you and I

(Power)

I believe the time is right now

(Of you and I)

Stand tall and make the world proud

I believe together well fly

(Together we’ll fly)

I believe in the power of you and I

I believe in the power of you and I
