Russia: Dima Bilan - Believe
Eurovision Song Contest · Eurovision Song Contest 2008 [2008]
I'll be standing strong like a tree in the wind
Nothing's gonna move this mountain
Or change my direction
I'm falling off the sky and I'm all alone
The courage that's inside's gonna break my fall
Nothing's gonna dim my light within
But if I keep going on
It will never be impossible, not today
'Cause I've got something to believe in
As long as I'm breathing
There is not a limit to what I can dream
'Cause I've got something to believe in
Mission to keep climbing
Nothing else can stop me if I just believe
And I believe in me
Even when the world tries to pull me down
Tell me that I can't, try to turn me around
I won't let them put my fire out, without, no!
But if I keep going on
It will never be impossible, not today
'Cause I've got something to believe in
As long as I'm breathing
There is not a limit to what I can dream
'Cause I've got something to believe in
Mission to keep climbing
Nothing else can stop me if I just believe
And I believe:
I can do it all
Open every door
Turn unthinkable to reality
You'll see - I can do it all and more
Believing
As long as I'm breathing
There is not a limit to what I can dream
Cause I've got something to believe in
Believing
Mission to keep climbing
Nothing else can stop me if I just believe
And I believe in me
Believe
