[Verse 1]
Even though we're walkin' through the valley of death
Scared and wonderin' what happens next
Uncertainty, division, anger, and unrest
I still believe

Questions of what and why and when
What is it, why it happened, and when will it end
These are strange and crazy times that we're livin' in
But I still believe

[Chorus]
I believe to my very core
We'll walk again in the sunshine by the seashore
That we'll dance and we'll sing and be happy again
Don't know how or when, but we will again, you'll see
I still believe (I believe, I believe)

[Verse 2]
I believe there's a day and it's comin' soon
When we'll unmask this face of doom
Walk hand in hand in perfect harmony

And I believe there are good deeds to be sowed
Nurtured with love to make them grow
I believe that faith can heal our bodies, minds, and souls
Yes, that's what I believe

[Chorus]
I believe to my very core
We'll walk again in the sunshine by the seashore
That we'll dance and we'll sing and be happy again
Don't know how or when, but we will again, you'll see
I believe (I believe, I still believe)

[Bridge]
We've become hysterical, completely come undone
Oh, but I believe in miracles and that we'll soon see one
And the word will be a better place when all is said and done
You gotta believe (I believe)

[Verse 3]
I believe in a higher power
And in the midst of our darkest hour
There's a light so bright it can melt away hate and greed
That's what I believe (I still believe)

[Chorus]
(I believe) I believe to my very core
We'll walk again in the sunshine by the seashore (I still believe)
That we'll dance (We'll dance) and we'll sing (We'll sing) and be happy again

[Outro]
You know our hearts, You know our needs
You see our fear, You hear our pleas
We come to You on bended knees
Through it all I still believe

[Tag]
Even though I'm walkin' through the valley of death
I will fear no evil

Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
