Sometimes the faith one person has in another can make ALL the difference…
I originally wrote this for Ginny Dye, the woman who I wrote “Together We Could Change The World” for.
But I had never spoken to her in person. There was a “go between” who said she had a website called “Someone Believes In You” and wanted a song to support that mission.
Writing songs for me is like a Labrador Retriever wagging it’s tail and chasing tennis balls. So I wrote this song.
According to my “go-between” She didn’t like it. The truth is I’m not sure he ever played it for her. Whatever! Her loss! LOL
It sure felt good to hear it this morning after a long time. I remember being in San Francisco and looking out a window at people waiting for the bus in the bone chilling fog. I was attempting to get people to sign up for my 2nd NLP training and it was not exactly happening EASILY.
Just keep in mind today as you go about your business. SOMEONE believes in you. What if YOU did too? Ultimately it is the power of our deeply held INTERNAL beliefs that determine whether we will give up or push onward. There are days though when a little positive nudge can really help… :o)
Go GET ’em Tiger! I BELIEVE in You!

Someone Believes In You
#381 | March 21-April7, 2008 | CD: Ocean of Dreams
Standing on the corner waiting for the bus
Sometimes you know just gotta have a little trust
That it will be here soon to take you where you want to go
Other times you gotta just get out and start a walking
Take a little bit of action baby, back up your talking
Cuz I believe in you, to your vision be true
I believe in you, someone believes in you.
You can shake your fist at heaven you can pound it on the wall
You can pound the pavement, take a leap of faith and risk it all
You may stumble or trip I’m here to catch you when you fall
Before you put your dreams back up upon the closet shelf
You might consider maybe baby asking for a little help
Cuz I believe in you, to your vision be true
I believe in you, someone believes in you.
Bridge:
Take a look in the mirror and dare to crack a smile
As you go about your day let it linger a while
Just remember that we all go through our own trials
Buckle up baby, sometimes the ride can be wild
I believe in you, someone believes in you
You don’t seem to have a clue how beautiful you are
But everyone of us who knows you, well we see you as a star
You are shining like a beacon, guiding in the ships at night
Every thing you’ve been through has contributed a bit
Now baby, play it like you mean it and go get yourself a hit
Cuz I believe in you, to your vision be true
I believe in you, someone believes in you.
