The is the major love song from my musical, Flora Pasquale Strikes Back!, which is my
interpretation of what might have happened had Eva Peron received a scathing revue
from a drama critic before she ever became Evita.   In the show, the song has no verse,
so I just added one.  (I know verses have long since gone out of style,  but I love them and am
determined to bring them back via the World Wide Web.)
If you click on the graphic it  will take you not to the Colossus but to Flora.

When Someone Believes in You

Before the day I saw you smile,
Life was a series of crashes.
And though I dressed in the latest style,
I should have worn sackcloth and ashes.
Things were one-sided,
The world seemed divided
Into princes and toads;
In life's evolution,
I felt Lilliputian.
Now I'm the Colossus at Rhodes.

When someone believes in you,
Oh, the things that you can do!
Things you never thought
That you could do before.

All at once your world will grow,
And not just the world you know,
But the other worlds
You're waiting to explore.

You take each horizon for all that it's worth,
Horizons are suddenly grand!
You cannot fall off at the end of the earth,
Not when you're holding
Someone else's hand.

When someone believes in you,
Oh, the things that you can do!
All the thrilling things you can achieve!
And oh, my love,
Oh, my love,
You believe.
