Sarah Gashi - I Do Believe (Peace One Day)

I wrote this song last year for the 2007 Peace One Day "One Song" competition. I never entered it because I never finished it.

The song is called "I Do Believe."

Sorry for the poor sound quality, as I don't yet have a good mic or a video camera.

I own none of the images in this video. They are there only to illustrate the lyrics.

Lyrics:

I don't believe in love at first sight
I don't believe in fate or that there's only one who's right
I don't believe in sitting still and watching the world go by
I want to make a difference and I want to touch the sky

And while some people say that the only way
To be heard is to change the world
I think you should know that wherever you go,
You could change someone's life with your smile

And I do believe in miracles
And I believe there's power in the hands of the smallest child
To teach and heal if you'll only learn and feel
And see a way for peace one day

I think you can learn from suffering and it's okay to cry
And it's okay not to understand and not to know the reasons why
I don't believe violence is ever right
And I don't believe that you lose by not putting up a fight

And I don't believe that just because they can take
Your life, they can take your faith
And I don't believe that when someone leaves
It's the end of a friend

But I do believe in miracles
And I believe there's power in the hands of the smallest child
To teach and heal if you'll only learn and feel
And see a way for peace one day

Sarah you're great.

[JetWhitePiano]

I reposted it from the right account. Sorry about that. :D

I use Windows Movie Maker to put it all together yes, so if I had two seperate recordings of my voice & the keyboard I could put them together at the same time. But I'd have to find a way of playing the recording of me playing (listening to it with headphones) & recording myself singing at the same time, & I'm not sure I can do all that on the coomber... I'll look into it.

I'm going to 6th form college this sept, & I am studying music, so I'm hoping I'll get to record stuff for free there =)

I am so disturbed- sarah what random account were you in?

Anyway yes I recommend you give it a try when your exams are over as it could greatly improve :D

About the microphone, you know in Video Maker (the programme you use right?) you can edit sound bands as well? So you could always record one audio band for your voice and one for the piano? I'm guessing that could work, and maybe help the 'miles away from the mic' thing :)

I love the lyriiiics aah!
