Dare
to believe there’s a song in your heart
Dare
to believe in your dreams
Nothing
can stop you from playing your part
As
long as you dare to believe
Too
many people hold themselves back
When
they should be reaching out
Too
many people on the wrong track
Led
astray by a seed of doubt
We
don’t have to live that way
Sun
is up on a brand new day!!!
So
dare to believe ……..
Too
many people say its allright
Never
see a need to change
Too
many people hide in their lives
Underneath
a cloud of pain
We
don’t have to bow our heads
Lift
‘em up sing with joy instead
And
dare to believe……..
And
there’s no time
Like
the present time
I’m
gonna go
Non
stop, Right now
I’ve
found something that I know is mine!
So
dare to believe……..
I remember this song from the Alice stage play in the 80's. I was just a kid. Really young. But the opening lines never left me. How do you know this song!?
ReplyDeleteWhen I started practicing Nichiren Buddhism in 1986, someone gave me a copy of a cassette with the songs from the play. I loved them so much. Then I super fortunate to be able see a copy of a video of the actual activity shortly after. In fact, we YWD in Vancouver sang and performed a dance to Dare to Believe. Happy times for me. 33 years later, I am still moved and deeply encouraged by this song. I hope you are still connected to Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, Unknown. Im inspired to write something here because of your comment. Be well.
ReplyDeleteAnd Nikki, Thank you for this post. One small correction..."so many people hiding their light." The Cheshire Cat's voice is Mr. Richard Causton, the first General of SGI-UK and Vice-President of Europe. He was a great man.
