If We Just Believe tekst

I look at us.
We need to say goodbye.
Now it's time I must be leaving.
 
I know you're sad.
And I know you still love me.
I found the love we were looking for.
 
And every time I think of you
leaving my love, I know
things can change if we only believe.
 
[Chorus]
I don't care what you're looking for.
What I see is we can't find more.
There you are.
End my search for love.
Only Jesus can reign.
 
Tell me I need.
I know you'll understand
that it's Christ we must believe in.
 
I know I'm sure.
And I know that we can endure.
So take my hand and we will see.
 
The harder we try,
the further we could get
We must pray that though we believe...
 
You may think that we've gone too far.
But darling we've been too long
to be wrong now.
 
[music break]
 
Woah!
[Chorus] x2
Yeah, yeah.
If we only believe. x2
Only Jesus can reign.
Yeah, yeah yeah.
If we only believe.
Only Jesus can reign.
If we only belive.

First, thanks for the transcription of the song. I would like to make some observations, I studied the lyrics of the song to understand the pronunciations and textual understanding, and I did some surveys here. First, referring to the contradiction in two moments, one when he says that he has to leave, another moment when he says that she left him. Maybe in this part, it wouldn't be possible that it's a question of the sound of a sentence being identical, but saying different things, in this case that I'm going to point out now, is it that instead of him saying "Now it's time I must be leaving" he says "Now it's time I must believing", since in other moments of the song he mentions the act of believing? If, in this case, it is the second sentence, there is no contradiction in the singer's speech. At the beginning of the song too, I actually heard it several times and didn't understand him saying "I look at us.
We need to say goodbye.", I understand something like "??? hurts / ??? mean to say goodbye", in fact, I couldn't identify the whole sentence, but some words that I could understand sound the way I wrote it. Finally, in the part of the song that goes like this "We must pray that though we believe." I I understand “We must pray and only believe.” Those were my observations, but I can't say with much propriety, because I'm not a native, I'm in the learning phase, but these were the doubts I had.

As a native English speaker (USA), I have to say that it DOES sound weird to say "I'm leaving" then claim someone else is leaving you. PERIOD. It's just weird. As for my transcription, I did the best I could. His pronunciation when singing English isn't very clear, so you are perhaps correct that he sang something other than what I wrote. But, it was the best I could hear.
As for the line "We must pray that, though we believe,..." does make sense when connected to the next line.
Anyway, you may be right, only the singer would know. Sorry. :/

Hey Phil, it's becoming a good tradition for me to disagree with you.:) So I listened to the record and said: there's no way in hell that the singer is not a native American English speaker. After some digging, I am 99% sure that the singer is Luis Cardenas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-GxYzbI4lg&t=43s and he is though what's called "Hispanic" born and raised LA dude. IMHO, there's nothing to mishear in his singing so your transcription is probably 100% correct. As for how he can leave her if she already left him, he is not saying that she left him, but that she left his love, i.e. stopped loving him (enough?) and now he wants to leave her, i.e. stop seeing her. How could he find the love that THEY were looking for? Elementary, Watson. They both were trying hard to fall in love, but only he succeeded.
My two cents FWIW.

"You tell me it hurts"?

Now it's time

"But it's time"?

Цитата:

End my search for love

Is it "In the search for love"?

Цитата:

things can change

"things could change"?

Цитата:

Sounds more like "you" than "we"
