Name: This I Believe
Duration: P00H03M45S
Description: I wrote this song in 2005 soon after Hurricane Katrina. My right arm had gotten numb and I wasn't able to play guitar like I used to. It was hard even getting though one song. This was a devastating time in my life and the song speaks to the loss we endure when we lose something we love as well as to the hope we must hold on to that This Too Shall Pass.

lyrics

Father my father
sadly I hear
gone are your sons and your daughters
Poor and abandoned
they drowned in their tears
strangers to comfort and laughter

What I believe
is sunken and dead
It's hard to believe
when nothing is left

Brother, forgive me
my peace I have lost
before you stands a shadow
What I have yesterday
gained is awash
and who knows if there is tomorrow?

What I believe
is sunken and dead
It's hard to believe
when nothing is left

Sister, my sister
I beg you, stay close
gone is my heart in these waters
Come is a sadness that burdens me so
soon will be comfort and laughter

We wade through the sour
to get to the sweet
So better must come, come, come
This I Believe

(end)
