BELIEVING
Charles Esten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When my rose coloured glasses disappeared
Sometimes my fingers, they can lose touch
Start letting go of everything I love
When I get the feeling
That my prayers have hit the ceiling
When my faith has lost all meaning
You keep me believing
My fears are safe here, held in your hand
When I'm broken, you put me back together again
All that I once was,
All I could be,
When I've forgotten
Baby you remind me
When I get the feeling
That my prayers have hit the ceiling
And those darker days
When my faith has lost all meaning
You keep me believing
If every red heart, starts feeling blue
All you are for me
Baby, I'll be that for you
When I get the feeling
That my prayers have hit the ceiling
And those darker days
When my faith has lost all meaning
When I get the feeling
That my prayers have hit the ceiling
And those darker days
When my faith has lost all meaning
You keep me believing
You keep me believing
You keep me believing
The song Believing by Charles Esten and Kate York is a heartfelt account of the power of love and faith to sustain a person through difficult times. The lyrics describe the singer's sense of disorientation and disenchantment, as their cherished illusions are shattered and their grasp on the things they love starts to slip away. The opening lines, "I don't remember how I got here / When my rose-colored glasses disappeared," seem to convey a feeling of confusion or disorientation, as though the singer has lost their bearings in life.
The chorus, which is repeated throughout the song, speaks to the importance of faith and belief in times of trouble: "When I get the feeling / That my prayers have hit the ceiling / And those darker days / When my faith has lost all meaning / You keep me believing". The "you" here could refer to a higher power or to a person or a relationship that serves as a source of strength and hope.
Throughout the song, the lyrics address themes of loss, fear, and vulnerability, but ultimately they turn toward a sense of hope and resilience. The lines "All that I once was, / All I could be, / When I've forgotten / Baby you remind me", suggest that even when we feel lost, there is someone or something that can help us remember our purpose, and keep us moving forward.
Overall, Believing is a moving tribute to the power of love, faith, and resilience to overcome life's challenges and to help us find our way through even the darkest days.

I never really enjoyed country music until watching this show. I am in love with the music they produce. Why haven't they all been more successful in their own music careers?
Danielle Harrington
Because they have contracts with the show. Once they leave the show, I guarantee every single one will go big! I CANT WAIT!!!
Kelsey Vere
I really hope so Danielle Harrington! A lot of them are extremely talented!! Even with their contracts on the show they could do a lot using the music from Nashville! But noooo they have to make us all wait! Lol
Danielle Harrington
