Digital Conundrum Special Issue - part 3-7
Believer (Cameron Williams' image song)
Performance Version - modified lyrics
[Buck liked his image song from Left Behind: the Movie, which was played while Buck was in the restroom, out of all the places in the world.... There wasn't anything really to modify, just some words that would elicit some questions because they were capitalized. Buck has been asking me if I knew anyone named You or Yours or You've, and apparently I don't. But here's his song anyway.]
Believer
originally recorded by Jake; remixed by Cameron Williams
{Cameron is sitting on a tall wooden stool in a dark room, with the spotlight on him. There's a guitarist, a drummer, a bassist, and a few backup singers in the dark doing the background music.}
Things never happen like I wish they could
Only in my dreams
I've never been willing to give up my heart
Or let myself believe
But I have been waiting all of my life
Just for tonight
And this time I'm hoping, holding out to you
To let me see the light
Make me a believer for once in my life
Right here and now
Touch me somehow
Let it be tonight
It's all on the line
I'm down on my knees
I don't know how but I'm ready to see
Clear every shadow of doubt in my mind
'Cause I want to believe
I've been sitting here staring at the rain
All alone tonight
Something about you is making me smile
With tears in my eyes
Maybe you've noticed, maybe you can tell
What's happening to me
When you say my name and touch my heart again
It's making me believe
So make me a believer for once in my life
Right here and now
Touch me somehow
Let it be tonight
It's all on the line
I'm down on my knees
I don't know how but I'm ready to see
Clear every shadow of doubt in my mind
'Cause I want to believe
Why can't this be one of the times
When I can see with open eyes
Shine your light
I'll never forget for the rest of my life
So make me a believer for once in my life
Right here and now
Touch me somehow
Let it be tonight
It's all on the line
I'm down on my knees
I don't know how but I'm ready to see
Clear every shadow of doubt in my mind
'Cause I want to believe
'Cause I want to believe
Yeah, I want to believe....
[Knowing most readers, they would realize that this song has more than one connotation.... You could hear this song on either the soundtrack for the Left Behind movie or on Jake's self-titled CD. I should apologize for using songs done by lesser-known artists ... but soon I'll get to a rather well-known song - to Digimon Adventure 02 fans, that is.
Coming up next: Chloe Steele's image song - or rather, her backup....]
