if you would still believe

Posted on by Jamie Dedes

if you would still believe
in things you cannot see
there’s no room to deceive

here on this new year’s eve
as fortunes interweave
if you would still believe

in all you can conceive
in all you long to be
there’s no room to deceive

last year’s transgressions leave
with Iemanja sail free
if you would still believe

in grace in a reprieve
to live on happily
there’s no room to deceive

give heinous doubt the heave
trust in January
if you would still believe
there’s no room to deceive
