Those Who Believe in You

(for Olivia)

Some days pass you by with a whisper in the air
Some pains make your moments more difficult to bear
It's hard to see the light through shades of constant pain
It's hard to hear the tears from the sky pour in the rain

You await every sunrise every breeze runs through your hair
Every leaf from a tree shows another fear in the air

chorus
Every falling tear cleanses out your soul
from ghosts that followed you down life's dark road
They help the flowers grow and make the sunsets whole
And make dreams of strength come true
Take this from those who believe in you

Your necklaces were never lined with gold
But silver and diamonds always encrusted your soul
Strength is determined by the battles that you fight
Superman's got nothing on what you've gone through in your life

You take every challenge and tackle it in stride
It's ok to be scared 'cause we're right here by your side
