I Believe

This is not something I really ever wanted to do with this blog. It is something much more likely that my daughter would do.  However, this is one of those songs I can listen to over and over and never get enough of. Every time I listen to this song, I find myself singing along and believing and agreeing with every single line that is sung, so I wanted to share it with you.  If you have not heard it before, then perhaps you too will enjoy it as much as I do.
It's not one of the top 25 most played songs on my iPod and I realise I haven't actually listened to this song in ages, but it still remains one of my favourites.



Affirmation - by Savage Garden
Words to live by....



I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe that your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom isn't fair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye


PS: Anyone ever know what happened to Savage Garden?

This is the first time I've heard this song, and I love it. Where do these lyrics come from then? Incredible. Thanks for sharing.

The group that sang this was Savage Garden (check out my music page where I posted another youtube version of it). I understand they have split up now though. Pity, as I am quite a fan.
