I BELIEVE IN YOU

DON WILLIAMS

(Roger Cook/Sam Hogin)



I don't believe in superstars

organic food and foreign cars

I don't believe the price of gold

the certainty of growing old

that right is right and left is wrong

that north and south can't get along

that east is east and west is west

and being first is always best.



But I believe in love, I believe in babies

I believe in mom and dad, and I believe in you.



Well I don't believe that heaven waits

for only those who congregate

I like to think of God as love

He's down below, He's up above

He's watching people everywhere

He knows who dies and doesn't care

and I'm an ordinary man

sometimes I wonder who I am.



But I believe in love, I believe in music

I believe in magic, and I believe in you.



I know with all my certainty what's goin'

with you and me is a good thing

it's true, I believe in you.



I don't believe virginity is

as common as it used to be

in working days and sleeping nights

that black is black and white is white

that Superman and Robin Hood

are still alive in Hollywood

that gasoline's in short supply

the rising cost of getting by.



But I believe in love, I believe in old folks

I believe in children, I believe in you.



I believe in love, I believe in babies

I believe in mom and dad, and I believe in you.
