How Could We Not Believe
Ben & Ellen Harper Lyrics

Was so beautiful how could we not believe
The beauty of the world inspires us to believe in something greater than ourselves.

So beautiful how could we not believe
The beauty of the world is undeniable and convinces us that there is something more beyond what we can see.

We love
Love is an essential part of the human experience and brings meaning to our lives.

We grieve
Grief is an inevitable part of life and reminds us of the fragility of our existence.

Then all seek our reprieve
After experiencing loss or hardship, we all seek comfort and relief from our pain.

Was so beautiful we had to stand aside
The beauty of the world is so overwhelming that we must pause and take it in.

We had to stand aside
There are moments in life where we must stop what we are doing and appreciate the beauty around us.

With our arms open wide
We embrace the world and its beauty with open arms and an open heart.

Was so beautiful we had to close our eyes
The beauty of the world can be so intense that we must close our eyes to fully experience it.

And listen to the sound
Our senses are overwhelmed by the beauty of the world, so we must focus on our hearing to take it all in.

It could be heard miles around
The beauty of the world is not confined to a specific location, but can be heard and felt throughout the world.

So beautiful to be free from my name
It is a wonderful feeling to be free from the constraints of societal labels and expectations.

To be free from my name
Being able to be true to ourselves and not what others expect of us is liberating and beautiful.

And all those who lay claim
Those who try to control or define us through their labels and expectations can be limiting and oppressive.

How could we not believe
The world is full of wonders that inspire belief in something beyond ourselves.

Having lived through times like these
After experiencing difficult times, we are reminded of the beauty and goodness in the world.
