about

I was playing the riff to "Believe It" in 2008 when my stepdad, Bobby Brown said, "Jay, why don't you write a song about your mom?" They were visiting from Jersey. I agreed and immediately wrote "Believe It"

The point of the song is that everything happens for a reason.

lyrics

Believe It
C
Believe it
C/B
I see it
C C/B
Everything it happens for a reason

C
Believe it
C/B
I see it
C C/B
Everything it happens for a reason

G G/F#
There comes a time
G G/F#
When the answers come together in your mind

C
Believe it
C/B
I see it
C C/B
Everything it happens for a reason

D D D D C
It’s all found life I know
C C C C G G/F#
But it’s my life to shine sign
G G/F#
You feel it when it happens in your mind

C
Believe it
C/B
I see it
C C/B
Everything it happens for a reason

C
Believe it
C/B
I see it
C C/B
Everything it happens for a reason

G G/F#
Love is the sky
G G/F#
We never get as daring or as high

C
Believe it
C/B
I see it
C C/B
Everything it happens for a reason

D D D D C
It’s all found life I know
C C C C G G/F#
But it’s my life to shine sign
G G/F#
Whatever you find clever in your mind

C
Believe it
C/B
I see it
C C/B
Now to fly to become and to be it

C
Believe it
C/B
Retrieve it
C C/B
It’s there for you, you merely have to seize it

G G/F#
Love’s gloves
G G/F#
You can wear ‘em and be daring with the doves.

C
Believe it
C/B
And be it
C C/B
Everything it happens for a reason

C
Believe it
C/B
I see it
C C/B
Everything it happens for a reason

C
Decree it
C/B
And be it
C C/B
Everything it happens for a reason

C
Believe it
C/B
And be it
C C/B
Everything it happens for a reason
