Believe
Josh Groban Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Children sleeping
Snow is softly falling
Dreams are calling
Likes bells in the distance
We were dreamers
Not so long ago
But one by one, we
All had to grow up

When it seems the magic slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas Day

Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe

Trains move quickly
To their journey's end
Destinations
Are where we begin again
Ships go sailing
Far across the sea
Trusting starlight
To get where they need to be

When it seems that we have lost our way
We find ourselves again on Christmas Day

Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe
If you just believe
If you just believe

If you just believe




Just believe
Just believe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Josh Groban's "Believe" are a beautiful reminder of the magic and wonder of Christmas, and how it can help us reconnect with our inner child and dreams. The song starts with a serene scene of sleeping children and snowfall, evoking the peaceful and enchanting winter wonderland that Christmas can bring. The following lines reminisce on our past as dreamers, long before we had to grow up and face the harsher realities of the world.


The chorus is the heart of the song, urging us to believe in what our hearts are saying and to hear the melody that's playing. It encourages us to not waste any time and to celebrate all the joy and possibilities that life has to offer. The final verse talks about how trains and ships have their own journeys and destinations, reminding us that we too have our own paths to follow, but that we must trust the starlight and keep believing in ourselves.


The ultimate message of this song is to believe in ourselves and to not let go of our dreams, no matter how far-fetched they may seem. With enough faith and determination, anything is possible, and Christmas can serve as a powerful catalyst to reignite that spark within us.


Line by Line Meaning

Children sleeping
Kids are in their deep slumber


Snow is softly falling
Fluffy white snowflakes are gently descending from the sky


Dreams are calling / Likes bells in the distance
As though ringing in the crisp winter air, dreams are beckoning


We were dreamers
Once upon a time, we dared to have grand aspirations


Not so long ago
As if it were only yesterday


But one by one
However, life happened and slowly but surely


We all had to grow up
We inevitably had to mature and face reality


When it seems the magic slipped away
At times it may seem like the enchantment of life has vanished


We find it all again on Christmas Day
But on this special day, we recognize it all once more


Believe in what your heart is saying
Trust the inner voice in your soul


Hear the melody that's playing
Listen to the tunes that are resonating


There's no time to waste
There's no more time to lose


There's so much to celebrate
There's an abundance of joy to be shared


Believe in what you feel inside
Have faith in your deepest emotions


And give your dreams the wings to fly
Let your aspirations soar high


You have everything you need
You already possess all the tools at your disposal


If you just believe
If only you have faith


Trains move quickly
Locomotives run at a fast pace


To their journey's end
Until they reach their destination


Destinations
Objectives, missions, goals


Are where we begin again
Are the starting points for new beginnings


Ships go sailing
Vessels navigate the open waters


Far across the sea
Over vast and boundless stretches of the ocean


Trusting starlight
Placing confidence in the glimmering stars


To get where they need to be
To reach their intended destination


When it seems that we have lost our way
When it appears that we have lost our path


We find ourselves again on Christmas Day
We re-discover our true selves on this special day


If you just believe
If only you have faith


If you just believe
If only you have faith


If you just believe
If only you have faith


Just believe
Simply have faith, and all will be well.


Just believe
Simply have faith, and all will be well.

Children sleeping, snow is softly falling
Dreams are calling like bells in the distance
We were dreamers not so long ago
But one by one we all had to grow up
When it seems the magic's slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas day

Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe

Trains move quickly to their journey's end
Destinations are where we begin again
Ships go sailing far across the sea
Trusting starlight to get where they need to be
When it seems that we have lost our way
We find ourselves again on Christmas day

Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need

If you just believe
If you just believe
If you just believe
If you just believe

Just believe
Just believe

"At one time, most of my friends could hear the bell. But as years passed, it felt silent for all of them. Even Sarah found, one Christmas, that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I've grown old, the bell still rings for me. As it does for all who truly believe".

@delawarefurret

Me: embracing and believing!

@claudiabranch7613

terribly underrated movie

@joshmontemayor6098

@@NixDarkLord, The Polar Express is in the same league as Speed Racer, meaning that the audience score for the movie is good but the tomatometer isn't.

@@joshmontemayor6098 Yeahh that seems to be the case. For the most part, everyone holds this movie in high regard though many critics don't like it
