I believe what I believe...

Song: "I Believe What I Believe" – Soulful Gospel/R&B Cabaret Anthem
(Gospel choir swells, acoustic guitar, piano, violin, drums/cymbals/claps, soulful cabaret lead with R&B ad-libs & theatrical praise swells—steady gospel groove building to conviction explosion)[Intro – Piano chords, soft violin pad, light claps]

(Soloist raspy cabaret, choir hums conviction underneath)

[Verse 1 – Soulful lead, organ/guitar build, intimate delivery]

Lead: It is a lifestyle that I live by, (piano ripples)
To be seen and not heard unless spoken to by head authority.
It is my mission, 
having love 
fulfills the whole law. (violin swells soft)

[Chorus – Full choir eruption, handclaps/cymbals, hook x2]

Choir/Lead: I believe what I believe,
 and doubt what I doubt,
But I don't doubt what I believe! (claps explode)

I believe what I believe, 
and doubt what I doubt,
But I don't doubt what I believe!
Love covers a multitude
 and He's always loving me,
As my first love! 

(choir "Hallelujah!" harmony lift)

[Verse 2 – Call-response fire, drums groove, choir echoes tight]

Lead: I believe what I believe, and doubt what I doubt,
Choir: Doubt what I doubt!
Lead: But I don't doubt what I believe.
Choir: No, I don't!
Lead: Love covers a multitude
 and He's always loving me,
Choir: Always loving me!
Lead: As my first love. 

(R&B run: "First lo-o-ove!")[Chorus – Bigger swell, ad-libs ignite]

Lead/Choir: I believe what I believe, and doubt what I doubt,
But I don't doubt what I believe!

 (Yes Lord! ad-libs fly)
(Repeat x2, violin cries over handclaps)[Bridge – Slow burn: piano/trumpet soulful, spoken-sung rising to shout]

Lead (cabaret prayer tone): As it is into heaven let it here, in me—
Love, joy, peace, freedom, and justice! 

(choir whispers fruits)

Speak Lord, speak to me! (pause, violin weeps)
Create in me a pure heart, 
and—make me over with Your word,

Choir swells: Pure heart!
Lead: And cover me with Your love, and know that I know You know!
 (theatrical arm raise)
[Final Chorus – Explosive key change, full band/choir vamp x3]

Lead/Choir: I believe what I believe, and doubt what I doubt,
But I don't doubt what I believe!

 (cymbals crash, full power)
(Repeat x3 – choir dominates, lead R&B scats: "I know-I-know-I-know!")

[Outro – Soft fade: choir harmony, piano resolves]

Choir (gentle): Love fulfills the whole law... I believe! (violin prayer closes)
Lead (whisper): First love... pure heart... Amen!
