Lyrics
I BELIEVE YOU
by Valerie Bennis and Karen Jacobsen
My precious sister
Brave and strong
It’s safe to share your words
You are seen and heard
I am here to catch your tears
Hold your broken heart
As if it were my own
Rocking away
The deepest pain in your soul
I BELIEVE YOU
We believe you
You are a survivor
Your voice is coming through
And your healing
Is my healing
Is our healing
My sister, your sister, our sister
I BELIEVE YOU
Release your burden
No more guilt or shame
No, no it never was your fault
Step into the light
Together we are the change
I BELIEVE YOU
We believe you
You are a survivor
Your voice is coming through
And your healing
Is my healing
Is our healing
My sister, your sister, our sister
I BELIEVE YOU
I wish I could have been there
Been there to protect you
If only I had been there
But I’m here now
We’re connected not abandoned
United not forgotten
You’ll always be my sister
And we’re here now
I BELIEVE YOU
We believe you
You are a survivor
Your voice is coming through
And your healing
Is my healing
Is our healing
My sister, your sister, our sister
Our brothers we hear you, we’re with you
My sister, your sister, our sister
I BELIEVE YOU
