Crystal Lewis - I Believe Lyrics
Lyrics
when i can't feel your love for me
the pain in my soul, it won't let me sleep
i imagine you here and it dries up my tears
even though i can't see
i still believe...
i believe in love
i believe in peace
i believe someday
you'll return for me
i believe in things
that i cannot see
and when my heart says no
i still believe
just when i think my faith is gone
i hear your sweet voice crying out hold on
it's amazing how we, we're always meant to be
and now i can breathe again
i believe in love
i believe in peace
i believe someday
you'll return for me
i believe in things
that i cannot see
and when my heart says no
i still believe
i believe the sun will shine again
and the loneliness someday will end
i will stand right here 'til your voice i hear
forever and always
i believe in love
i believe in peace
i believe someday
you'll return for me
i believe in things
that i cannot see
and when my heart says no
i still believe

Crystal Lewis- Lord I Believe In You w/Lyrics
Meaning & Inspiration
"I Believe" by Crystal Lewis is a song that delves into the profound struggle between human pain and unwavering faith. The lyrics paint a picture of deep soul-searching, where the absence of perceived love or comfort leads to distress and sleeplessness. The narrator finds solace not in physical presence, but in the imaginative power of belief, visualizing comfort that alleviates tears. This opening establishes the central conflict: feeling disconnected and hurt, yet clinging to an unseen reality.
The core of the song is a powerful declaration of faith, articulated through simple, resonant statements: "I believe in love, I believe in peace, I believe someday you'll return for me, I believe in things that I cannot see." These lines lay bare a conviction that transcends immediate circumstances. The inclusion of "you'll return for me" firmly anchors the song within a spiritual, likely Christian, context, interpreting the "you" as a divine figure whose promised return is a source of hope. The admission "and when my heart says no, I still believe" highlights the very real battle between doubt and determined faith.
Midway through, the song introduces a turning point where just as faith seems depleted, a "sweet voice crying out hold on" is heard. This moment of divine intervention or spiritual encouragement revitalizes the narrator, restoring the ability to "breathe again." It reinforces the theme of a reciprocal connection, where faith is not just a personal effort but is also sustained by a perceived presence and promise, emphasizing a sense of being "always meant to be."
The narrative looks towards the future with hopeful anticipation. The declaration "I believe the sun will shine again, and the loneliness someday will end" speaks to overcoming current hardships and finding ultimate relief and fulfillment. The commitment to "stand right here 'til your voice I hear, forever and always" underscores perseverance and loyalty, portraying a waiting stance rooted in deep trust and eternal hope. The context provided by the video title "Crystal Lewis - Lord I Believe In You" further reinforces the spiritual dimension, confirming the song's likely address to a divine "Lord."
The song's message is deeply inspirational for listeners navigating difficult times or facing challenges to their faith. It validates the pain and doubt that can arise but ultimately champions the power of persistent belief in the face of adversity and uncertainty. The lyrical journey from pain to renewed hope, sustained by faith in the unseen and the promise of future presence, offers encouragement to hold on to spiritual convictions even when emotional or circumstantial evidence suggests otherwise. The themes presented resonate with scriptural principles such as faith being the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1), the promise of future return (John 14:3, Acts 1:11), and finding strength and peace through reliance on a higher power during trials (Philippians 4:6-7, Isaiah 40:31).
