I believe in the stories of the stars And times like these, constellations carry me I'm almost past I believe that the Milky Way still flows And times like these, dreaming carried forward with us The spirit grows And I believe in the wisdom of my boy Just ten years old He said: I believe when a star burns out a child is born And I believe in the people standing tall And times likes these, hands raised with intention To heal the world And I believe we can breath in the magic of our Earth And I believe we can exhale anything we feel we didn't deserve I believe there was a man called Jesus Christ And in times like these he said: treat each other equally In times like these And I believe in the words of the Dali Lama In times like these, with peace and love and unity In times like these And I believe in the movement of the tide In times like these And the mysteries of the moon In times like these I believe in the circuit of the sun In times like these And its magnetic properties And human beings And I believe in a simple thing called love In times like these When a women finds a man and they can be In times like these And I believe that the spirit is reborn when we die With no burden of the body We're free to fly And I believe in the people standing tall And times likes these, hands raised with intention To heal the world To heal the world

The lakes and pines, they bleed of beauty and grace And the rivers, they run wild like an endless race The forests soar so high then fall to the sea As church bells ring and sing in harmony I heard them say they're shutting Detroit down But I won't leave 'cause this is my hometown And it's times like these we can't replace It's times like these we must embrace And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees It makes us who we are in times like these The concrete and steel stand strong against the wind With the memories of what was and what has been The sounds of sweet soul music and blue-collar blues There were 17 colors for a Chevy, all red, white and blue I heard them say that you can't save that town But I won't leave, I will stand my ground And it's times like these we can't replace It's times like these we must embrace And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees It makes us who we are in times like these The ice and snow give way to a new spring bloom In the wake that hope and faith they will be home soon A new day dawns as the good Lord shines from above 'Cause in the rubble and rust there remains a whole lotta love And I was here watching it all go down And I'll still be when it comes back around And it's times like these we can't replace It's times like these we must embrace And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees It makes us who we are in times like these It makes us who we are in times like these
