Believe
Unleash Your Dreams: The Power of Believing in Yourself
Lyrics
Five-year-old Superman got a beach towel cape
Reference to a child imagining himself as Superman with a makeshift cape
And he thinks he can
Expressing confidence and belief in one's abilities
So he takes a dive off the chicken coop
A playful act of bravery, taking a daring leap off a chicken coop
Red behind and broken foot
Facing consequences with a red behind and a broken foot
Daddy said I hope you learned your lesson good
Parental advice on learning from mistakes
Yes sir, next time I'm gonna wear the Superman boots
Commitment to better choices in the future
Go on, give it a try
Encouragement to try and take risks
Go on, give it a try
-Red rhinestones and a Silvertone
Introduction of a character aspiring to be on stage and achieving success
Opry playing on the radio
-He says one day I'm gonna be on that stage
-Spends all his time practicing
-Gets a big break and it all begins
-Now he waiting in the wings and Porters calling out his name
-Believe
Encouraging belief in oneself and pursuing dreams
You can fly you can sing
-Take a leap spread your wings
-Believe
-Have a little faith little trust
-Little luck little love and dream
-Whatever you want
-But you've gotta believe
-Go on, give it a try
Reiteration of encouragement to try and take risks
Go on, give it a try
-Go on, give it a try
-Go on, give it a try
-Her mom says its wasting tips in an all-night diner
Transition to a female character pursuing an academic and professional career
Babies, boys and black eye liner
-Its a woman's life it ain't rocket science
-She set her site on the Ivy League
-Got a full free ride and her PhD
-Now shes down in Houston and shes one of NASA's finest
-Go on, give it a try
Continued encouragement to try and pursue goals
Go on, give it a try
-Hes 91 shes 85
Introduction of an elderly couple enjoying life and dancing
Said by God were still alive
-Lets go stepping out before cashing in
-Take the Cadillac down to the Broken Spoke
-Do the ole two-step or cotton-eyed Joe
-Just like the south they're gonna rise again
-Believe
Reiteration of the theme of belief and achieving what one desires
You can fly you can dance
-Take a leap take a chance
-Believe
-Have a little faith little trust
-Little luck little love and dream
-Whatever you want
-But you've gotta believe
-Good things come to those who will believe
Emphasizing the positive outcomes for those who believe
So believe
-You can fly
Encouragement to believe in oneself and the realization of dreams
Give it a try
-You're gonna see
-Whatever you want
-Whatever you dream
-If you believe
-Go on, give it a try
Repetition of the encouragement to try and take risks
Go on, give it a try
-Go on, give it a try
-You can fly you can sing
Reiteration of the theme of believing and spreading wings
Take a leap spread your wings
-Believe
-Go on, give it a try
Continued encouragement to try, take chances, and believe in one's abilities
You can fly you can dance
-Take a leap take a chance
-Believe
-Go on, give it a try
-You can fly you can sing
Reiteration of the theme of belief and spreading wings
Take a leap spread your wings
-Believe
-Go on, give it a try
Continued encouragement to fly, dance, take chances, and believe in oneself
You can fly you can dance
-Take a leap take a chance
-Believe
