Song of the Moment: "I Believe" by Building 429

Currently Listening

I Believe

This song is so simple yet it proclaims the powerful (and necessary) message of love. What really caught me of this song was the choice of tones and intensity between the verses and chorus. For example, there is a calm, almost somber piano that flows well with the second verse topic, and then there was an uprise of electric instruments for the chorus, pushing love beyond everything. Very reminiscent of Lifehouse song "Everything". Read and listen, and you should know what I mean. I honestly wished the final bridge/fadeout was more prominent in the song, but maybe it doesn't need to be. Love is something universal among all people, and if we can learn to see others with that agape love and pass it on, we can begin to see God's own love for us identify ourselves with His Son. Overall, it is a really enjoyable song.

Walk blindly to the light and reach out for His hand
Don’t ask any questions and don’t try to understand
Open up your mind and then open up your heart
You will see that you and me aren't very far apart

‘Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe love will find a way
I believe that love is the answer
I believe love will find a way

Violence has spread worldwide and there’s families on the streets
We sell drugs to children now, well why can’t we just see
That all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today
Money is our incentive now so that makes it ok

But I believe that love is the answer
I believe love will find a way
I believe that love is the answer
I believe love will find a way

Walk blindly to the light and reach out for His hand
Don’t ask any questions and don’t try to understand

I believe that love is the answer
I believe love will find a way
I believe that love is the answer
I believe love will find a way

Jesus is the Answer for the World Today
Above Him theres no other
Jesus is the Way
Jesus is the Answer for the World Today
Above Him theres no other
Jesus is the Way
