I Believe Lyrics

    (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)
