| I believe there’s no evil out there we didn’t have a hand in
|
| You believe it’s a time for peace and a time for understanding
|
| Some of us believe that we are chosen
|
| And if God is on our side we’ll win the game
|
| And some of us believe that there’s a heaven
|
| When the trumpets sound and the judges call your name
|
| But let’s get it straight:
|
| I believe there’s just once chance in this world to hear our brothers
|
| You believe there’s a better way to listen to each other
|
| We don’t get what the other guy is saying
|
| We hear the words but we don’t understand
|
| So around the world the same old anger raging
|
| And we all cry for shame and the same old tragedy goes down
|
| We believe there’s a better way to fight
|
| There’s a way to make our children safe at night
|
| We believe there’s a war we could be winning
|
| But the only way to win it is to give what we need to receive
|
| I believe we need a hero to step boldly from the shadows
|
| You believe there must be someone on the scene that fits the bill
|
| A man or a woman who knows how to say I’m sorry
|
| With courage in his heart to match his creed
|
| A leader who can build a brand new morning
|
| And match the tide of changes
|
| Match the intent with the deed
|
| We believe there’s a deed of obligation
|
| To bring reconciliation
|
| To make peace with every nation — in our time
|
| We believe there’s not a minute we should be wasting
|
| When the darkness falls it’s too late to fix the crime
|
| It’s peace that we need
|
| Every father every mother knows the meaning
|
| Human treasure that our leaders do forget
|
| And the bullets fly in the face of common reason
|
| And the pain we give is the legacy in the end we get
|
| We believe there’s a song that’s worth the singing
|
| It’s a song of truth we’re bringing
|
| There’s a way to share the Earth with everyone
|
| We believe every creature has a being
|
| Has a right to respect and feeling
|
| To live and breathe and flourish in the sun
|
| That’s what we believe |
