Lyrics for I Still Believe

Jovan she came from New Jersey / She cried at gospel songs on TV / She said the biggest problem is hate / She said we have to have love before it’s too late / Before it’s too late

Well I don’t know her life story / But I know well what she spoke to me / And I still believe / We have so much love to give / If we could look beyond ourselves / And truly start to live, start to live

A man who’s on the subway / He’s asking for some spare change / His life he lives on the ground below / He said I got no place else to go / No place else to go

Well I don’t know his life story / But I know well what he spoke to me / And I still believe / We have so much love to give / If we could look beyond ourselves / And truly start to live, start to live

A friend of mine once tried to say / Selfishness is the only way / You gotta look out for old number one / That’s the way this war is won / That’s the way this war is won

Well I don’t know her life story / But I know well what she spoke to me / And I still believe / We have so much love to give / If we could look beyond ourselves / And truly start to live, start to live

Oh I still believe / Yes I still believe / Oh I still believe / Yes I still believe

Let Me Rise was recorded in Quito, Ecuador over the course of 6 months. Most of these songs were written while Vanessa was living in South America and feature the musical stylings of artists from several different countries. Driven by Vanessa's distinctive arrhythmic guitar picking and unique voice, this is an album that has stories to tell.
