I Believe
Helloween Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give me two strong arms to fight my enemies
Give me two strong eyes to see the truth
Give me two strong legs I think I have to run
And fill my heart will faith that I won't lose
I don't want to lose

Give me one real love that I don't freeze out there
Make me feel your presence in the night
Give me one strong heart that tells me when I lie
And take my soul so I won't have to hide
I don't want to hide

It's so cold deep down here
I know we had to fall
Souls are dying everywhere
But whatever I do I believe

There'll be no reason to live
Without you giving me light
There is so much that you give
Your love is shining so bright
I believe

I want to love but I always hate
I want to give but I always take
Want you to laugh but I make you cry
No I won't change until I die
It's so much easier said than done
I know I can't just always run
Got so much anger inside of me
I understand but I think I see what I'm not

I know it's true what J.C. said
I got it all clear in my head
Seems we were born to be unfair
I am a sinner that's starting to dare to believe
Give me your hand until the end
And I will walk into the promised land
I don't deserve anything you do
But I can't stop loving you

No more lies, no false religions
No more whys and wrong God missions
No shiny T.V. priests begging for cash
No more wars that no God's never asked for

There's a way back out of here
One day we're going home
Tell everyone who wants to hear




Whatever you do:
Do believe, I believe, we believe, believe oh!

No righteous false preachers imploring viewers for financial gain


No more wars that no God's never asked for
There ought not to be any more unprovoked wars that God never condishes for.


There's a way back out of here
There's an escape route from the spiritual gloom.


One day we're going home
One day, we shall reunite with our abode


Tell everyone who wants to hear
Spread the word to everyone who is willing to listen


Whatever you do: Do believe, I believe, we believe, believe oh!
Regardless of your actions, don't lose hope, because I have faith and so should you. Believe!
