Sometimes I wish this world was an easier place

And when I see those tears falling from your face

I pray, little angel, don't give up on yourself

Just keep on reaching for your higher ground



Cause I believe in you sure as a smile lights up a child's face

I believe in you sure as the stars do shine in velvet space

I believe in you sure as the morning sun kisses the sky

I believe in you, with every beat of my heart hear me testify

I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe



Oh, I believe in you sure as the autumn leaves

Dance to the ground

I believe in you sure as Heaven

Only knows what spins this world around

I believe in you sure as the spring does melt a winter's snow

I believe in you sure as the light you shine touches my soul

I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe

I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe

I believe, I bel
