Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All I know is what I've been sold
You read my life like a fortune told
I've seen the dream, there is no land of Oz
But I got my brain, yeah, and I got a heart
And courage built, nah, I won't let go
What we need right now is soul
I can't do this, you can't do that
They feed us lines but I won't act
And all good things will come to pass
But the truth is all you have to have
And would you lie for it?
Cry for it?
Die for it?
Would you?
[Chorus]
I believe, I believe
With every breath that I breathe
You and me can turn a whisper to a scream
I believe, I believe
[Verse 2]
You give it all, then you gave more
Yeah, you know what you came here for
You'll pay the cost like it's your cross to bear
Are we the ones who put it there?
And would you scheme for it?
Scream for it?
Bleed for it?
Would you?
[Chorus]
I believe, I believe
Believe we're still worth the fight you'll see
There's hope for this world tonight
I believe, I believe, yeah
[Bridge]
Don't look up to your movie screens
Your records or magazines
Close your eyes, you will see
That you are all you really need
[Chorus]
I believe, I believe
With every breath that I breathe
You and me can turn a whisper to a scream
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
Three, four!
[Outro]
Yeah
Whoa, whoa
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
I believe, I believe
