I Want To Believe

I want to start again
I want to believe
against all evidence and
experience I receive
I want to believe
I want to believe

If someone would just be kind enough
to show me
show me
show me

I want to believe in love
I want to believe we're not alone
I want to believe in human beings
life can't be just a combat zone

I want to believe in trust
I want to believe in you and me
I want to believe we can survive
and share peaceful reality

it's just not there when I look around
I see how you put each other down
I want no part of your competition
I want no part of your suspicion
I want no part of your conditions
or the fears in which you drown
I don't understand
you don't understand
so I'll just play the clown
and you can wear the crown

I live in a giddy euphoria in my mind
a hopelessly hopeful romantic kind
you can tell me that I'm falling down
maybe you are blind
we all see what we want to see
What we want to find
I want to see someone being kind

someone who doesn't betray
the words they said
someone who wants me to stay
inside their head
remember
the promises made
are not just words
they're plans we made
don't leave me waiting
trying to believe in you
remember your words
show me they are true

I want to start again
I want to believe
against all evidence and
experience I receive
I want to believe
I want to believe

If someone would just be kind enough
to show me
show me
show me

I want to believe in love
I want to believe we're not alone
I want to believe in human beings
life can't be just a combat zone

I want to believe in trust
I want to believe in you and me
I want to believe we can survive
and share peaceful reality

If someone would just be kind enough
to show me
show me
show me

I want to believe
