I know Christmas day is over. The new year will begin tomorrow. The meaning of this song applies to any time of the year.
BELIEVE
Today is a special day … it’s the day when the year ends. We’ve had all kinds of experiences …. good or bad, happy or sad. Our world has gone through many changes in many ways.
It’s time to hope, to plan, to envision … better things!
Let’s hope for a year of good tidings … personal and worldwide!!

Children, sleeping. Snow is softly falling. Dreams are calling, Like bells in the distance. We were dreamers, Not so long ago. But one by one, we All had to grow up.
When it seems the magic slipped away… We find it all again on Christmas Day.
Believe in what your heart is saying, Hear the melody that’s playing. There’s no time to waste, There so much to celebrate. Believe in what you feel inside, Give your dreams the wings to fly. You have everything you need, if you just believe.
Trains move quickly To their journey’s end. Destinations… Are where we begin again. Ships go sailing, Far across the sea. Trusting starlight, To get where they need to be.
When it seems that we have lost our way… We find ourselves again on Christmas Day.
Believe in what your heart is saying, Hear the melody that’s playing There’s no time to waste, There so much to celebrate. Believe in what you feel inside, And give your dreams the wings to fly. You have everything you need, if you just Believe.
If you just believe. If you just believe. If you just believe. If you just believe ….
