… Believe in you.

Believe in you, as you believe in her, as you believe in God. 

Believe in you, and she may call to you.

If you would but listen.

Believe in you, and you may yet hear her. 

Yes, you may yet hear her — the speediest, the purest of sounds, divine and true, rising, rising, rising above the very echoes of time. 

Believe in you. 

And you may yet hear her.

And she may yet teach you.

And you may yet learn.

Believe in you.

Believe in you, as you believe in her, as you believe in God.
