Tenderness, love and understanding. Believe in them. Live them and maybe they will be given back to you.

To believe in myself is the way
All will fall into place with
The most dignified grace.
Close my eyes
Visualize happiness, health
And all things I idolize.
They are there with
Much more to spare
Just open my eyes to see.
Yes, believe in myself
Believe in myself today
To believe in myself
Is the only way.

Times are tough, times are bad
Hard sometimes to be glad
See a way, make it bright
Even thou it may not seem right.
Believe in you, believe in me
Believe in all of eternity
Then your troubles will seem small
For what if you had to deal
With them all!

Yet Again
This is it. This is all
Down to earth
Hear them call
Move about
Hear them shout
This is it, this is all.
No matter that
You can’t believe
There in front of you
You perceive
This is it, this is all.
Embrace it fondly
Hold it close
No second chance
To have a boast
This is it, this is all.
