help me believe

Singer:nichole nordeman

take me back to the time

when i was maybe eight or nine

and i believed

when jesus walked on waters blue

and if he helped me

i could too

if i believed

before rationale

analysis and systematic thinking

robbed me of a sweet simplicity

when wonders and when mysteries

were far less often silly dreams

and childhood fantasies

help me believe

cause i don't want to miss any miracles

maybe i'd see much better by closing my eyes

and i would shed this grownup skin i'm in

to touch an angel's wing

and i would be free

help me believe

when mustard seeds made mountains move

a burning bush that spoke for you

was good enough

when manna fell from heavens high

just because you told the sky to open up

am i too wise to recognise that everything uncertain

is certainly a possibility

when logic fails my reasoning

and science crushes underneath

the weight of all that is unseen

help me believe

cause i don't want to miss any miracles

maybe i'd see much better by closing my eyes

and i would shed this grownup skin i'm in

to touch an angel's wing

and i would be free

help me believe

when someone else's education

plays upon my reservations

i'm the first to cave

i'm the first to bleed

if i abandon all that seeks

to make my faith

informed and chic

could you

would you show yourself to me

maybe i'd see much better by closing my eyes

and i would shed this grownup skin i'm in

to touch one of their wings

and i would be free

i would be free

i would be free

help me believe

help me believe

could you

would you show yourself to me

could you

would you shoy yourself to me

help me believe
