I believe in you

I BELIEVE IN YOU 1979 Special Rider Music

They ask me how I feel
And if my love is real
And how I know I'll make it through.
And they, they look at me and frown,
They'd like to drive me from this town,
They don't want me around '
Cause I believe in you.

They show me to the door,
They say don't come back no more
'Cause I don't be like they'd like me to,
And I walk out on my own
A thousand miles from home
But I don't feel alone
'Cause I believe in you.

I believe in you
even through the tears and the laughter,
I believe in you
even though we be apart.
I believe in you
even on the morning after.

Oh, when the dawn is nearing
Oh, when the night is disappearing
Oh, this feeling is still here in my heart.

Don't let me drift too far,
Keep me where you are
Where I will always be renewed.
And that which you've given me today
Is worth more than I could pay
And no matter what they say
I believe in you.

I believe in you
when winter turn to summer,
I believe in you
when white turn to black,
I believe in you
even though I be outnumbered.

Oh, though the earth may shake me
Oh, though my friends forsake me
Oh, even that couldn't make me go back.

Don't let me change my heart,
Keep me set apart
From all the plans they do pursue.
And I, I don't mind the pain
Don't mind the driving rain
I know I will sustain

'Cause I believe in you.

Without hesitation I label this Bob's finest work.
This song came at a time when crowds would
boo his spiritual songs and cry out for his classic works.
Friends didn't want to hear of his conversion to Christianity
but he kept on and for a season let the world know of his calling.

For my money this captures the spirit of a soul sure of the right. The rest be damned. Literally.
