I Believe

Charice Pempengco's song 'I Believe' is a powerful anthem about the strength of belief and the pursuit of dreams. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and metaphors that convey a sense of wonder and aspiration. The song opens with questions about reaching the 'rainbow’s end' and finding a 'pot of gold,' which are classic symbols of achieving one's dreams and finding ultimate happiness. The mention of catching a shooting star and feeling like you're dreaming only to realize you're awake suggests moments of profound realization and the magic that can guide us through life.

The chorus emphasizes the culmination of a lifelong journey of dreaming and believing. Charice sings about seeing her dreams in the stars across the sky and finally realizing them after dreaming 'a hundred thousand dreams.' This moment of realization is portrayed as a significant and transformative experience, one that she has waited for all her life. The repetition of 'finally I believe' underscores the importance of this moment and the fulfillment that comes with it.

The song also touches on themes of hope, love, and perseverance. Charice encourages listeners to believe in the impossible and to reach deep within their hearts to overcome obstacles. The lyrics suggest that striving to be the best and shining one's light for all to see can make anything possible. The recurring theme of love lifting her higher reinforces the idea that love and belief are powerful forces that can elevate and sustain us. The song's uplifting message and Charice's powerful vocals combine to create an inspiring and motivational anthem that resonates with anyone who has ever dared to dream.
