I Believe
Dustin Kensrue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seeing your face in every child that smiles
But I can't help but rejoice
And I have heard the song called 'Thunder'
But I knew it was your voice

Touch the holes in your challis
And stuck my fingers in your side
But I was six feet deep in doubt but
And now I'm sure that you're alive

And it's sad to say but never know everything
Still blessings we've received
And it's sad to say I really don't know a thing
It's the lies you shouldn't believe

Smell the sand of angels sweet road
And in the summer air
I have pretend to keep the incense
While the saints send up their prayers

I have tasted and now I see though
I see that you are good
And I have ate your perfume body
I have drank your blessed blood

And it's sad to say but never know everything
Still blessings we've received
And it's sad to say I really don't know a thing
It's the lies you shouldn't believe

And all the cancers that I've piled
Only take me so far down the line
The tracks are always getting round
Yeah, to leap from the lions mouth

And it's sad to say I really don't know a thing
Still blessings we've received




Yeah, it's sad to say I really don't know a thing
It's the lies you shouldn't believe
