Verse 1 I’ve been walking down these streets at night City lights don’t tell me wrong from right Every voice around me says, “Be realistic” But my heart keeps beating, still optimistic I’ve fallen down more times than I can count Scraped my knees on dreams I almost drowned But every scar is proof I stood my ground I’m still here, still breathing, still unbound Pre-Chorus They say, “Know your place, don’t aim too high” But I’ve seen fire burning in my eyes Chorus I believe I can, even when I’m scared I believe I can, when nobody cares I believe I can, stand up again With shaking hands, I’ll take the chance I believe I can, louder than the doubt I believe I can, I’ll scream it out If the world says no, I’ll say, “Just watch” I believe I can, I believe I can ⸻ Verse 2 I remember nights staring at the ceiling Fighting with the weight of what I’m feeling Every “what if” trying to pull me under Every step forward feeling like a blunder I’m not perfect, never claimed to be I’m just a man chasing what he sees A version of me standing tall and free Saying, “This is who I chose to be” Pre-Chorus 2 I don’t need permission to try I don’t need a reason to fly Chorus I believe I can, even when I’m scared I believe I can, when nobody cares I believe I can, stand up again With shaking hands, I’ll take the chance I believe I can, louder than the doubt I believe I can, I’ll scream it out If the world says no, I’ll say, “Just watch” I believe I can, I believe I can ⸻ Verse 3 They measure life in numbers and names Who’s ahead, who’s losing the game But I don’t run in someone else’s lane I’m carving my road through the rain Every step forward, even slow, counts Every small victory still amounts This dream of mine won’t fade away Not today, not today ⸻ Bridge Maybe I’ll fail, maybe I’ll break Maybe my heart will ache and ache But I’d rather fall chasing the light Than live my life afraid to fight If this is my only shot at me I won’t waste it on “what might be” I’ll look in the mirror and finally say “I trust myself anyway” ⸻ Chorus (Final, Bigger) I believe I can, hear me now I believe I can, here and now I believe I can, rise again From the dust, from the pain I believe I can, this is my vow I believe I can, starting now If the world says no, I’ll say, “Just watch” I believe I can, I believe I can ⸻ Outro So when the night feels endless and long And I forget where I belong I’ll hear this voice inside my head Saying, “You’re not done yet” Yeah, I believe I can
