Song Lyrics to Live By

Isn't Love Hewitt the chick? Aside from the fact that she broke up with Carson Daly in such a cruel way, I mean. Hmm... still wondering about that one... Oh well. The girl has some good songs! These are some song lyrics by her that I wish more people would take to heart like I do. I've listened to the song repeatedly, and think of it every time I see something that breaks my heart. It keeps me at least semi-strong. :-)

"I Believe in Love"
By Jennifer Love Hewitt

I saw the news today
A teenage boy blown away
Another mother's lost her only son
He learned his way at school
That fighting is the golden rule
For twenty dollars, you can own a gun

I saw the words in red
Someone painted "Love is dead"
On the sign above the football field
I had to turn away
It hurts my soul to think that way when love's what's real

'Cause I believe in...
I believe in love
And I believe in the miracles in us
And no matter what they say
They can never take away what I believe in
I believe in...

In 1942, a demon army trampled through
Every inch of her forgotten town
Her family hid away
A secret place above decay
And there they lived and breathed without a sound
She learned to write that year
Of every scream she dare not hear
And every tortured soul she'd one day meet
One day the soldiers came
And marched her family to the train
And left her diary lyin' in the street
And it read...

I believe in...
I believe in love
And I believe in the miracles in us
And no matter what they say
They can never take away
What I believe in...
I believe in...

Why is it that we can't help but look for
The crack of light
In the darkest skies?
When will we learn to understand
That we were right and wrong?
Love's the only thing that's real

So, here we go again
Fighting till the bitter end
Better off to go our seperate ways
And as you slam the door
I swear that I will love no more
But you can't believe a word I say
And that's right

'Cause I believe in...
I believe in love
And I believe in the miracles in us
And no matter what I say
It can never take away what I believe in...
I believe in..

I believe in...
I believe in love
And I believe in the miracles in us
And no matter what they say
It can never take away what I believe in
I believe in love
Love's the only thing that's real
