about

I wrote this song for Stephanie shortly after she suffered a miscarriage in December 2020. It was my way of showing support through this difficult time in her life as well as a means of encouragement should she and her husband decide to try again. They ended up being successful in their next attempt and we crafted the song while Stephanie was pregnant. Today, as the song is released, Stephanie is excitedly anticipating the birth of her rainbow baby boy, Ezra. A full circle account that starting over is hard, but with faith and perseverance you can overcome any of life's hardships.

lyrics

INTRO
Starting over can be hard to do
But you should know, I believe in you

INTROLUDE
You, you

VERSE
(Stephanie)
My journey has been rough
Wounds may heal, but there’s still cuts

(Jarreau)
You have grown to be so tough
Above it all, you’ve got guts

(Stephanie)
So much pain behind my eyes
Trying so hard not to cry

(Jarreau)
You are building up your strength
I’m always here, at arm’s length

PRECHORUS
Taking a chance, is the difficult part
Gotta dig deep inside your heart

CHORUS x2
Starting over can be hard to do
But you should know, I believe in you

INTERLUDE x2
I believe in you, you, I believe in you

VERSE
(Stephanie)
Gotta tell you my brain hurts
from everything I’ve built
watching it all crumble
Hit below the belt

How do I start over?
When there’s no going back...

(Jarreau)
Just take a leap of faith
Learning as you stumble
I’m standing by your side
As you get back on track

PRECHORUS
Taking a chance, is the difficult part
Gotta dig deep inside your heart

CHORUS x2
Starting over can be hard to do
But you should know, I believe in you

INTERLUDE x2
I believe in you, you, I believe in you

BRIDGE
I believe in, I believe in, I believe in you (dry your eyes)
I believe in, I believe in, I believe in you (no more crying)
I believe in, I believe in, I believe in you (now’s your time)
I believe in, I believe in, I believe in you

OUTRO
I believe in you
Deep inside your heart
Take the leap of faith
Taking a chance
I believe in you
