I Believe
Connie Talbot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest nights
A candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray
Someone will go to show the way
I believe, oh, I believe
I believe above the storm
The smallest breath will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere
Is everywhere
Ever time I hear a new born baby cry
Or touch a leaf, or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
Every time I hear a new bron baby cry
Or touch a leaf, or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
Mmmm
I believe
At its core, Connie Talbot's "I Believe" is a song about hope and faith. She sings about her unwavering belief that there is good in the world, even during the darkest times. The lyrics evoke images of growth and light amidst the rain and the night, and the idea that even one small action can make a difference in someone's life. Talbot's faith is not confined to any specific religion or ideology, but is a universal belief in the power of good.
The first verse sets the tone for the song, with Talbot singing about how every drop of rain has the potential to bring new life in the form of a flower. She then goes on to express her belief that in the darkest of times, a candle will always burn to guide the way for those who have lost their path. This serves as a reminder that even in the midst of chaos and confusion, there is a light that can help us find our way.
In the chorus, Talbot sings about how she believes that even amidst the storm, the smallest breath can be heard. This line is particularly powerful, as it suggests that even when things seem hopeless, there is still life and hope to be found. She also states her belief that there is someone or something out there watching over us, guiding us along the way. Talbot's message is clear: in a world where darkness and despair can sometimes feel overwhelming, it is important to hold on to our faith and belief in the good.
