I Do Believe

I do believe there's a slow train comin'
I do believe her engine's strong
I do believe that the clock is runnin'
I do believe my time ain't long

I do believe in a bright blue morning
I do believe in a brand new day
I do believe there's a new day dawning
I do believe a heart can change

Joseph, he was taken to the land of Egypt
Daniel to the lion's den
Both men believed and they were not forsaken
Both men came out again

I do believe we are all connected
But I do believe we have lost our way
I do believe we can resurrect it
I do believe a heart can change

Joshua, he came to the town of Jericho
Brought with him his horn to play
Hit that jazz note and brought the house down
They talk about him to this day

I do believe we have been uprooted
We use up the earth, arrogant and blind
What do we leave to our sons and daughters?
What kind of world do we leave behind?

Esther was a woman from the land of Israel
Beautiful and strong and brave
She believed that the Lord would guide her
And her people she did save

I do believe we were not intended
To be alone or to be afraid
I do believe our wounds, they will all be mended
And all our tears, wiped away
I do believe that justice will roll like thunder
I do believe in the power of love
I do believe that this life is a gift and this world's a wonder
I do believe a heart can change
