Believe

I've been there and I've seen with those eyes

Green with envy, dark with anger

Or just plain blue

And I know the last thing you really want to hear

Is just what I'm about to tell you

But you have to hear the truth

I know it's stylish to be cynical these days

So there's only one thing left to do

Believe

Sometimes traffic lights are green,

Sometimes people keep their word

In spite of everything you've heard, it's true that

Sometimes nice guys finish first,

Sometimes true love really lasts

Sometimes all the world can change

If only you believe

Still you say the phone rings every time you want to take a bath

Or take a nap, or you just need peace

But tell me this, did you really want to be

So all alone as you are now?

Don't you need a friend who knows

It's in the way you see the glass

Once you know that it's half full, it overflows

Every time that you

Believe

Sometimes Christmases are white,

Sometimes wedding days are clear

Sometimes rain falls right on time

To wash away your tears

Sometimes cornfields touch the sky,

Sometimes sunsets make you cry

Sometimes you see what Jesus sees

When you look in the mirror

And love isn't something that is just for everyone else

It's for you

Believe what I say is true

In spite of all the ways you feel right now

You've got to find out some way somehow to

Believe

Sometimes the good live long,

Sometimes kindness reaches far

Sometimes you hear your favorite song

Right when you get in the car

You don't have to move the sky

But you can chase the clouds away

You don't have to change the world,

But you might do it anyway

Believe

Believe sometimes nice guys finish first

You don't have to change the world,

But you might do it anyway
