Description

On this episode of Atma Vision, we look at Blessing Offor's 2022 song, "Believe," and we focuse on the theme of selfless love, making a comparison to Lord Chaitanya's famous prayer in which He prays only for selfless service (and not for material benefits, although God can and does "has our back.") Believe (Lyrics): So you catch me when I fall, right?And you hear me when I call cryin'?And you fix me when I'm broke, right?And that's all I need to knowSo the storm is gonna break right?And the sun is gonna start shiningAnd everything is gonna go rightAnd that's all I need to knowBut what if you know something I don't?What if you will something I won't?If you don't give me what I wantBut you give me what I needIs that enough toBelieve, believe, believe, believe in your love?Will I stillBelieve, believe, believe, believe in your love?So nothing's ever going wrong, right?And every day I'm gonna be smilingTurned my water into good wineAnd let the good times rollBut what if you know something I don't?What if you will something I won't?If you don't give me what I wantBut you give me what I needIs that enough toBelieve, believe, believe, believe in your love?Will I stillBelieve, believe, believe, believe in your love?Believe, believe, believe, believe in your loveWill I stillBelieve, believe, believe, believe in your love?Do I want you?
