Have you got a minute, my friend?

Though I'd drop in

Say a word or two

To you

It won't take long

Soon you'll be gone

And on your way

Yes, I know you're gonna do

What you want to anyway

And I don't know if I should

But if I could

Can I speak to you

Oh, before you go to Hollywood?

Don't be offended, my friend

I didn't intend

To bring you down

From the world

You're living in

I could be wrong

Soon you'll be gone

And on your way

And tomorrow it could be

You instead of me

Who has to say

And I don't know if I should

But if I could

Can I speak to you, yeah

Oh, before you go to Hollywood?

I only want to say

Learn the rules if you're gonna play

'Cause the game of life

Has a new winner everyday

Yeah, and I don't if I should

But if I could

Can I speak to you, yeah

Oh, before you go to Hollywood?

Because I

I believe in you

Hope you do all the things you set out to do

Oh, I

I believe that you

Hope all your dreams come true

Have you got a minute my friend

To consider the end

Of the fruitless seeds

You sow with no regrets

It won't take long

Soon you'll be gone

And on your way

Just open up your eyes

And see life

For what it is

Just see yourself as you should

Said, if you understood

Can I speak to you

Before you go to Hollywood?

Because I

I believe in you

Hope you do all the things you set out to do

I

I believe in you

Hope all your dreams come true

I

I believe in you

Hope all your dreams come true

Oh, I

Believe in you

Oh, I

I believe in you and you and you and you
