Lyrics

I Believe in Me (lyrics and music by Beverly Graham)
I wake up every morning and I look into the glass, and I see the person that I'd like to be
I know I will survive, If I dig down deep inside
And take the child that lives there, set them forever free
And I stand with my face toward the wind, My feet planted firmly on the ground
Though I am tossed and blown, in the eye of the storm
I find peace, I find release
Every thought that I take
Every new thing I learn
Every set back I have
Every bridge that I burn
Every choice that I make
Is the way I begin
To forgive the mistakes
To look back where I've been
I rejoice in my victories

Chorus
I believe in my own power
I believe in my own self
I believe I was born with true equality
I believe in Me

I've been told that courage, lies coiled deep inside and like a serpent lying patiently in wait
When I have need, like a prisoner that's freed
I will spread my wings and pass through the gate
And I stand with my face turned towards the sun, My hands raised up to the sky
I sing with a voice of renewed clarity
I've found peace, I've found release
I won't let them take me
I won't let them Break me
I won't let them make me feel fear
I won't let them shame me
No I won't let them blame me
I won't let the scary things near
I rejoice in my victories
And I believe in my own power

Chorus
I believe in my own self
I believe I was born with true equality
I believe in me

Bridge
I believe, I believe
I am a wave on the sea
I am a tree with roots
I am a cloud floating free
I am a bird in flight
And you can't catch me
I rejoice in my victories
I am a tree with roots, I am a wave on the sea, I am a bird in flight, I am a cloud floating free
Rejoice in my Victories

CHORUS: I believe in me
