LONG AS WE BELIEVE (FAST FORWARD, 1985)

Actor Sidney Poitier directed the 1985 film Fast Forward, about eight young dancers from Ohio trying to make it big as professional dancers by joining a major competition. Though directed by the legendary actor, the film was less known than those other dance movies that were shown during the ‘80’s. Siedah Garrett and David Swanson provided the vocals for the ballad Long As We Believe.


LONG AS WE BELIEVE
sung by: Siedah Garrett & David Swanson

Time makes victims of us all
A window down the hall
Opens the past and fading fast
What used to be

You and me, as long as we hold on
To each other we’ll be strong
There’s no doubt about it
We’re destined to belong

Long as we believe
Love begins with dreaming
Never letting go of what we know
Long as we believe
Love can lasts forever
And together we can conquer all
We will never fall
As long as we believe

Space, a pris’ner of the line
Brings images to mind
That can be ours to close
A cannonball to fly

Soaring, as long as we hold on
To each other we’ll be strong
There’s no doubt about it
We’re destined to belong

Long as we believe
Love begins with dreaming
Never letting go of what we know
Long as we believe
Love can lasts forever
And together we can conquer all
We will never fall
As long as we believe

Oh, we have to just believe

Long as we believe (just believe)
Love can lasts forever (lasts forever)
And together we can conquer all (we can conquer all)
Long as we believe (long as we believe)
Love begins with dreaming (all you gotta do is believe)
Never letting go of what we know
Long as we believe (long as we believe)
Love can lasts forever
And together we can conquer all
Long as we believe
