Believe (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

I see it all around us

In every single color

And every dimension

Crowns the reinvention

And if it is black, then it's white

And when it is dark, then it's light

So fill in all the spaces

With imaginary places

It's so frustrating when no one else sees everything you see

So for now it is just an illusion, confusion

Unless you're someone who believes

When you look tell me what do you see?

Just a dog in a park

Is it real, is it fiction?

Only make believe

You act like you really don't care

Look with you eyes

But look with your eyes, it's a great Russian bear

And he's dancing and prancing and bowing politely

He plays to full houses, once daily twice nightly

Prefix "ordinary" with "extra" you'll see

Believe, believe, believe

I don't need rose-tinted spectacles (A dog, a rock, a bench, a bone)

Just to see the fundamentals (A twig, a stick, a can, a stone)

I only see the bright lights (A cloudy sky)

The sunset and the sunrise

Don't lie

And if it is weak

Then it's strong

It's not strong

And just when it's right

Then it's wrong

It's not wrong

And everything my eyes see (And everything my eyes see)

It's nothing like it should be (Is only like it should be)

It's so frustrating when no one else sees everything you see

So, for now it is just an illusion, confusion

Unless you're someone who believes

When you look tell me what do you see?

(You can believe)

Is it real, is it fiction, only make believe

You may think we're safe on the path

(You must believe)

But the grass is the water that's rising too fast

And now Kensington park is the biggest lagoon

And this bench is a rock

And we're all marooned here

Hear the mermaids sing their beautiful song

When you look tell me what do you see

(You can believe)

Is it real or a mystery, scientifically?

It's more than a bench in a park

You must believe

Look again, it's a rocket that's headed for Mars

On a mission to search for new life

When we'll be back who knows 'cause it's really a long flight

Turn the whole world upside down and you'll see

Believe, believe, believe

Just imagination

And creative speculation

Our life's calling

Was never meant to be boring

Believe believe

Believe believe

Believe believe

Believe believe

Believe believe

Believe believe

Believe!
