I do Believe

In my own way, i'm a believer.

In my own way, right or wrong.

I don't talk too much about it.

It's something i keep workin' on.

I don't have too much to build on,

My faith has never been that strong.

There is a man there in that buildin'.

He's a holy man, they say.

He keeps talkin' about tomorrow,

While i keep strugglin' with today.

He preaches hellfire and brimstone,

And heaven seems so far away.

I do believe in a higher power.

One that loves us, one and all.

Not someone to solve my problems,

Or to catch me when i fall.

He gave us all a mind to think with.

And to know what's right or wrong.

He is that inner spirit,

That keeps us strong.

In my own way, i'm a believer.

But not in voices i can't hear.

I believe in a lovin' father.

One i never have to fear,

That i should live life at its fullest,

Just as long as i am here.

Mmm-mmm, mmm-mm.
