I Still Believe
Turner Frank Lyrics

Hear ye, hear ye, friends and Romans, countrymen.
Listen up, everyone from different walks of life, whether you're my friend, my fellow countryman, or someone else entirely.

Hear ye, hear ye, punks and skins and journeymen
Listen up, all you punk rockers, street youths, and every hardworking individual out there.

Hear ye, hear ye, my sisters and my brethren.
Listen up, my brothers and sisters, whoever you are and wherever you may come from.

The time is coming near.
The time is almost here, so pay attention and get ready.

Come ye, come ye, to soulless corporate circus tops.
Come with me to the big, flashy, and heartless events organized by corporations.

Come ye, come ye, to toilet circuit touring snobs.
Come with me to the small and unglamorous venues frequented by pretentious musicians.

Come ye, come ye, to bedrooms, bars and bunker squats.
Come with me to the intimate settings of our bedrooms, bars, and secret hiding places.

The sound is ringing clear.
The music is loud and clear, and it's speaking to us.

Now who'd have thought that after all,
Who would have guessed that at the end of it all,

Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all.
something as seemingly basic and uncomplicated as rock and roll music would be the salvation for all of us.

And who'd have thought that after all, it was rock 'n' roll.
And who would have thought that rock and roll would have been the answer to it all.

Hear ye, hear ye, now anybody could take this stage.
Listen up, anyone can take the spotlight now, regardless of social status or background.

Hear ye, hear ye, and make miracles for minimum wage.
Listen up, anyone can create something miraculous without asking for much compensation.

Hear ye, hear ye, these folk songs for the modern age,
Listen up, these songs speak to our current times and experiences,

Will hold us in their arms.
And they will embrace us and keep us safe.

Right here, right now, Elvis brings his children home.
In this very moment, Elvis Presley is welcoming all of his fans back home as his children.

Right here, right now, you never have to feel alone.
In this moment, you can be assured that you are not alone in your struggles.

Right here, right now, teenage kicks and gramophones.
In this moment, we can still enjoy the youthful energy of our teenage years and cherish the vintage technology we used to enjoy music.

We hold them in our hearts.
We cherish these memories and the people and things that inspired them dearly.

And I still believe (I still believe) in the saints.
I still hold onto my belief in the great musicians who came before us.

Yeah, in Jerry Lee and in Johnny and all the greats.
Specifically, I still believe in Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and all of the other legends of the genre.

And I still believe (I still believe) in the sound,
I still hold onto my belief in the power of rock and roll music,

That has the power to raise a temple and tear it down.
That can either uplift some of the most sacred places or completely destroy it.

And I still believe (I still believe) in the need,
I still firmly believe that there is a need for rock music in the world,

For guitars and drums and desperate poetry.
For the instruments and lyrical themes often found in rock music, and especially those that are particularly emotionally-driven.

And I still believe (I still believe) that everyone,
I still firmly believe that every person,

Can find a song for every time they've lost and every time they've won.
Has a song out there that speaks to their experiences of both losing and winning, in the past and present.

So just remember folks we not just saving lives, we're saving souls,
So remember, we are not just changing people's physical lives, but also their spiritual ones.

And we're having fun.
And we're enjoying it at the same time.

And I still believe.
And I still have faith in the power of rock music.

Now who'd have thought that after all,
Who would have guessed that at the end of it all,

Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all.
something as seemingly basic and uncomplicated as rock and roll music would be the salvation for all of us.

Now who'd have thought that after all,
Who would have guessed that at the end of it all,

Something so simple, something so small.
Something so simple and unassuming.

Who'd have thought, that after all it's rock 'n' roll?
Who would have guessed that it's the rock music that has the power to change us all, in spite of its humble origins?
