I believe there are some debts That we never can repay I believe there are some words That you can never unsay And I don't know a single soul Who didn't get lost along the way. I believe in socks and gloves Knit out of soft grey wool, And that there's a place in heaven for those Who teach in public school. And I know I get some things right , But mostly I'm a fool. Chorus I believe in a good strong cup of ginger tea, And all these shoots and roots will become a tree. All I know is I can't help but see All of this as so very holy. I believe in jars of jelly Put up by careful hands, I believe most folks are doing About the best they can, And I know there are some things That I will never understand. Chorus I believe there's healing in the sound of your voice, And that a summer tomato is a cause to rejoice, And that following a song was never really a choice. Never really. Bridge I believe in a good long letter written on real paper and with real pen, I believe in the ones I love and know I'll never see again, I believe in the kindness of strangers and the comfort of old friends, And when I close my eyes to sleep at night it's good to say, "Amen" I believe that life's comprised of smiles and sniffles and tears, And in an old coat that still has another good year, Ball I need is here. Chorus I believe in a good strong cup of ginger tea, And all these shoots and roots will become a tree. All I know is I can't help but see All of this as so very holy. I believe.
