I Believe

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)







When i was young and full of grace

And spirited - a rattlesnake

When i was young and fever fell

My spirit, i will not tell

You're on your honor not to tell



I believe in coyotes and time as an abstract

Explain the change, the difference between

What you want and what you need, there's the key,

Your adventure for today, what do you do

Between the horns of the day?



(chorus)

I believe my shirt is wearing thin

And change is what i believe in



When i was young and give and take

And foolish said my fool awake

When i was young and fever fell

My spirit, i will not tell

You're on your honor, on your honor

Trust in your calling, make sure your calling's true

Think of others, the others think of you

Silly rule golden words make, practice, practice makes perfect,

Perfect is a fault, and fault lines change



I believe my humor's wearing thin

And change is what i believe in

I believe my shirt is wearing thin

And change is what i believe in



(repeat chorus)



When i was young and full of grace

As spirited a rattlesnake

When i was young and fever fell

My spirit, i will not tell

You're on your honor, on your honor

I believe in example

I believe my throat hurts

Example is the checker to the key



I believe my humor's wearing thin

And i believe the poles are shifting



(repeat chorus)
