Into each life a little rain must fall, goes the saying. But what if one's entire life is nothing but dark clouds with no silver lining? What do we hold on to? What do we reach for, to make things whole again? In a poignantly personal song, Silent Company says to each and every one that there is something out there; a hope, a better way, if all we do is believe that it will come to us, and keep the hope in our heart of hearts. Belief, and the chance that we take in exercising it, can bring us all to our heart's desires: peace, love, fulfillment, destiny. In a radical departure from most of their other offerings of late, this very nearly zydeco-inspired track has a mid tempo rhythm that draws the listener along, a string grouping that is haunting at times, melodic for sure, and uplifting in the best of ways. Bee and Edd are in full on duet-mode, with a Shakespearean-type chorus, speaking one's conscience along the way. Bee's Epiphone takes a complete break on this tune, but the strings, piano, and a walking beat more than make the song. We all have hard times, even hard lives, but belief, and our eternal desire to see its manifestation, can turn everything around. Just believe, and you will see...
Believe (Walk On Water)
VER1:
justice is like the rain that falls
on a burning church
when who spoke for truth is gone
still through pain we can learn
been so long since the apple's gone
now it's time we discerne
we are free to choose, to live on...
free to choose
who can save me, save me
ahh, ahh...
free to choose
who can save me, save me
ahh, ahh...
VER2:
somewhere along in life's masquerade
i refused to paint my face
and i lost my chance
to belong
the years go by and the days go on
i can't help but feel alone
and i fight to believe to go on
PRE:
(just believe)
and i fight to believe
(you know you're strong)
and i fight to stay strong
(you've always been free)
and i fight to stay free
CHO:
ooohhh, ahhh
sometimes the road goes far and long
(walk with me)
and i lose my will to walk at all
and the rain breaks my reflection on the water
(you can see)
and my heart cries to the home i belong to
BRG:
walk on water...
walk on water...
walk on water...
(just believe)
walk on water...
(just believe)
walk on water...
(just believe)
