This song explores the depths of unconditional love, the pain of necessary distance, and the longing for what could have been.It's a raw, honest look at the complexity of family ties - how we can love deeply yet need to protect ourselves.A heartfelt tribute to the dreams, disappointments, and enduring connection that defines this unique relationship."

Verse 1
I gotta believe
It’s the one thing I can do
I gotta hold on
Hold on to what is true

I gotta keep
Keep on keepin’ on
Never let go though
The night seems way too long
   
Chorus 1
Cuz, I have a hope that’ll never die
an answer to all my whys  
I have a reason for this smile you perceive

I have  eternity in my heart
The living God who is never far
Who revealed Himself to me      
So I gotta believe

Verse 2
I choose to believe					
Though the world may tear me down
I choose to hold on
When doubts, they swirl around

I choose to keep
My eyes on the Lord
Never let go, though
Darkness reaches out for more

Chorus 2
Cuz, I have a hope that’ll never die
An answer to all my whys  
I have a reason for this smile you perceive

I have  eternity in my heart
The living God who is never far
Who revealed Himself to me

So I gotta believe       
Cuz I gotta believe

Bridge
I am carved in palm of His hand
He is ever before me
I am hidden in the shadow of His wings
Him forever I will seek

Chorus 3
Cuz, I have a hope that’ll never die
An answer to all my whys  
I have a reason for this smile you perceive

I have eternity in my heart
The living God who is never far
Who revealed Himself to me            

Outro
I’m gonna believe
Yes I am
I’m gonna believe
By His grace
I’m gonna believe
I’m gonna believe 
I’m gonna believe
