You Don't Have to Believe (Song and lyric by Tessa Souter)

You say you don't believe in spring
But spring is love and love is in everything
Within the bare branches of December trees
Live the red leaves of fall
You don't have to believe at all

A skylark rises up from the ground
it is singing but you don't hear the sound
But that does not mean the lark's not there
Just cos you're unaware
It doesn't need you to care

Warmth comes from the sun
Wind blows on everyone
And the rivers wind
Even though you're not mine
The stars still shine

In the dark you don't see me at all
When it is raining you don't hear me call
But above the clouds of gray and the dark
The sky is always blue
That doesn't depend on you

Warmth comes from the sun
Wind blows on everyone
And the rivers wind
Even though you're not mine
The stars still shine
