This is My Belief
Embracing Life's Contrasts
Lyrics
This is my belief
This expresses the singer's personal conviction.
That a smile is there to go
A smile is a fleeting expression meant to move forward.
This is my belief
Reiteration of the singer's belief in the following statements.
Where there's friend there must be foe
Where there are friends, adversaries are inevitable.
In this I believe
The singer believes in this principle or philosophy.
As long as there's cheer
Cheer is accompanied by the potential for sadness.
There must be a tear
Tears coexist with joy in the singer's worldview.
You're up then you're down
Life involves ups and downs.
You're gay then you're sad
Emotions fluctuate between happiness and sadness.
This is my belief
Reaffirmation of the singer's belief.
At times your plans just fall apart
Life sometimes disrupts planned endeavors.
You tend to nurse a broken heart
Dealing with heartbreak is a common experience.
Be a man, don't surrender
Encouragement to face challenges without giving up.
That is life and it's fine
Acceptance that life has both positive and negative aspects.
Death claims the one who's dear
Death takes away loved ones.
Who brings you bread
The one who provides sustenance and support.
And troubles never clear
Challenges persist, and problems are not easily resolved.
You're worn and sad
Feelings of weariness and sadness may occur.
Don't despair, don't surrender
Encouragement not to lose hope in challenging times.
That is my belief
Restatement of the singer's fundamental belief.
That is my belief
Reiteration of the singer's conviction or philosophy.
