| There was a time
|
| When a man lived by his word
|
| And the simple truth
|
| Was not so hard to take
|
| When his enemies
|
| Were thousands of miles away
|
| And he stood by
|
| The promises he’d make
|
| All that I ask for
|
| All that I need
|
| Is someone that I can believe
|
| Yeah
|
| Just like the air
|
| That we breathe in a single day
|
| To a drowning man
|
| How much do you think he’d pay
|
| All that I ask for
|
| All that I need
|
| Is someone that I can believe
|
| When I listen to the things you try to say
|
| Any ordinary man would fade away
|
| But if you want I’m ready to receive
|
| I know that I can believe
|
| Every word you say
|
| And the love you give away
|
| Goes straight to my heart
|
| And everything you do
|
| And how you follow through
|
| Can keep us together
|
| Or tear us apart
|
| When I listen to the things you try to say
|
| Any ordinary man would fade away
|
| But if you want I’m ready to receive
|
| Well I would not have it any other way
|
| I know that I
|
| I know that I
|
| I know that I can believe
|
| Yeah
|
| And I am listening
|
| To every word you say |
