I believe In You

co authored by C.A.Tetro and Gary Ferris Jr.

 

When you feel so tired and weary

And it seems like you can't go on

Lost in a dreadful world of disorder

And your strength and hope is gone

 

Remember there is still someone

Whose  heart beats strong and true

Now and for always

I believe in you

 

When time is short and friends are few

And the darkened troubles are on the rise

The sun stays hidden from your view

Your confidence is shrinking in size

 

Tomorrow may bring more troubles

More than one can bear alone

desperately in need of a friend

An uplifting voice on the phone

 

Bearing courage enough for two

Breathing new life into all that you do

Patiently waiting for you to shine through

Somehow knowing

I believe in you

Sorry, i am not so enamoured

Sorry, i am not so enamoured with this one. It swims very close to that Bridge Over Troubled Waters ditty, and I think it could be reduced by a couple of stanzas. Like its theme and simplicity just think it lacks some originality. Going to hide now from your wrath. All the best eric

Nice collaboration

Not bad, Chrys and Gary. (as I desperately hope that you don't need me to rhyme in future endeavors, Crys!) This reminds me of song lyrics. Should "Who's" should be "Whose?" "Who's" refers to "who is." Somehow I don't think that is what you meant there. I know. I'm relentless. Take it out on me later. ;) ~ Ronda

I Believe In You

Can't put my finger on it but it reminds me of a song, in the 60's When you're down and out, and need a helping hand I'll be there, Oh yes I will, when you need a friend don't remember who sang it. Anyway nicely written!
