I believe forgiveness is the key to all your happiness
I believe that through Jesus Christ I am forever blessed
I believe that in true faith and love there is no room for fear
I believe in the power of an understanding ear
Darling, it's still true that what you give is what you get returned
And I believe we all should try to let the Spirit's fires burn
I believe the grass is always greener on the other side
I believe the hardest thing we ever do is say goodbye
I believe that what makes you beautiful is your heart and soul
I believe that family and friends are worth much more than gold
I believe that teen magazines promote low self esteem
I believe that life is not always the way it seems
Darling, it's still true that what you give is what you get returned
And I believe we all should try to let the Spirit's fires burn
I believe the grass is always greener on the other side
I believe the hardest thing we ever do is say goodbye
I believe that we're all here to make the world a better place
I believe we all can start by putting on a happy face
I believe that just because it's on TV doesn't mean it's good
I believe the people who don't lead us are the ones who should
Darling, it's still true that what you give is what you get returned
And I believe we all should try to let the Spirit's fires burn
I believe the grass is always greener on the other side
I believe the hardest thing we ever do is say goodbye
I believe that Jesus is my Truth, my Life, and my Way
I believe that God gives me all I need and more each day
I believe that beauty's in the eye of the beholder
I believe that we should let Love take over
Darling, it's still true that what you give is what you get returned
And I believe we all should try to let the Spirit's fires burn
I believe the grass is always greener on the other side
I believe the hardest thing we ever do is say goodbye
I believe that even though God plans out all our destinies
I believe that what I do with my life is up to me
I believe that we should celebrate our diversity
I believe the ordinary's often extraordinary
Darling, it's still true that what you give is what you get returned
And I believe we all should try to let the Spirit's fires burn
I believe the grass is always greener on the other side
I believe the hardest thing we ever do is say goodbye
I believe the ones who make it are the ones who think they can
I believe in the power of prayer to change our lives time and again
I believe that life is change and what we and God make it
I believe that good or bad, it's all in how we take it
Darling, it's still true that what you give is what you get returned
And I believe we all should try to let the Spirit's fires burn
I believe the grass is always greener on the other side
I believe the hardest thing we ever do is say goodbye
I believe that censorship is fear and like I said before
I believe there is no room in this world for fear or war
I believe we need to learn to think more for ourselves
I believe we need to dust our faith and take it off the shelf
Darling, it's still true that what you give is what you get returned
And I believe we all should try to let the Spirit's fires burn
I believe the grass is always greener on the other side
I believe the hardest thing we ever do is say goodbye

Author notes
A belief statement I wrote for confirmation class when I was 15. With a few small changes, it still holds true, and so I share it with you now.
(If you feel this doesn't count because it's technically a pre-write, let me know and I'll remove it.)

I like it, somehow this should be printed somewhere ,like a poster or big card, I think you are too young to remember Desiderata, ask your mother, it was a hit, this is the same type of thing maybe a chant and you could perform it on stage, it should be read to people.

first off, faith and your words are never a prewrite.
this is your faith and your belief.
never would I ask you to remove it nor would I remove it
for to me faith begins when you start to believe in
something and it builds as your faith in it grows.
how can one say that your faith begins now and
in the same breath say that since you have had it
for a long time it is false.
sorry not me.
love the fact that you have shared this with me and
everyone else here on this site.
now though it is a prewrite.
Many Blessings to you.

"I believe that we're all here to make the world a better place"
I've always thought like this: yes, it's difficult to change the whole world...BUT. If everyone only changed the corner they were in, the whole world would then change. An amazing piece, my Friend. Only 15??? Even more impressive. Good luck in the contest, Sweetie. I believe in you. Wanda
