"I Believe 2009" lyrics - R. KELLY

[Barack Obama:]
In small towns and big cities
We came together
As democrats, republicans, and independents
To stand up and say that we are
ONE NATION, we are ONE PEOPLE
And our time for changed has COME..

[R. Kelly:]
When the mountain seems too high
And you don't have the courage nor the strength to climb
And the road you're on won't end
But still you run though you cannot see the finish line

And dark clouds are over you
Your skies no longer blue
But you marched on straight ahead
Somehow you made it through

Got to the mountain peek
They left a path of me
Your victory made history and now

[Chorus:]
I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh I

When it felt like you were weak
And couldn't fight no more
On the ropes and it seemed like
You was gonna run out of breathe

When the world was on your shoulder
And the walls were in your way
You leaped and made it over
Through it all you kept the faith

With hope you set us free

You showed us how to dream
And now we can lift our voices
And forever sing

Now's the time to look ahead
And thank our hero's of the past
And celebrate this history
Let's raise the flag cause

[Chorus:]
I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh I

[Bridge:]
And when they tried to keep you down
You kept up your head
Never losing sight
You believed in what was right

You endured to the end
Walked through the strongest wind
The storm's over
And a new day begins

And when our hope was dying
You brought us healing
And now I got something
To tell my children

[Chorus:]
I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh I
