What We Believe Tim Lemmens ©2009 RW Music

One was clean, and one was dirty
One was told, “you’re beautiful”
One was held in adoration
One was left to find out for herself

Chorus:
We are all held captive by our definitions
We use words to activate the ammunition
We get lost managing the contradictions
It’s because we become what we believe

Rescue her, and breathe into her
Life renewed, and colorful
Teach her words and all their meanings
Show the truth, so she can live it out

Chorus: We are all held captive by our definitions
We use words to activate the ammunition
We get lost managing the contradictions
It’s because we become who we deceive

Don’t try so hard to make it on your own
Don’t push away the ones who really love you
So hard, so long, and still so beautiful
It’s not too late you know
I wish you’d let it go

Let independence go
Let independence go

Chorus:
We are all held captive by our definitions
We use words to activate the ammunition
We are free to move within the boundaries given
Some find peace and some defend their private prison
Only love can fill the emptiness we live in
It’s because we become who we believe
