BEING AWAKE

Set the clock of your heart, set the clock of your heart

It’s the best medicine of all, being awake

Being Awake!

5) Let Me Believe

Let Me Believe

Posted: January 31, 2018

by Rebekka Goldsmith  www.RebekkaGoldsmith.com

LET ME BELIEVE THAT LOVE IS POSSIBLE

Let me believe that love is possible
Let me remember the courage in my soul

I wil raise my voice for justice

Let me remember the courage in my soul

I’ve got two feet to march with
I’ve got one mouth to sing with
I’ve got two ears to listen
I’ve got one heart to love with

Listen, listen, listen, listen

I will never give up, never give up, never give up!
