Believe

I've been there and I've seen with those eyes
green with envy, dark with anger,
Or just plain blue.
And I know the last thing you really want to hear
Is just what I'm about to tell you,
But you have to hear the truth.
I know it's stylish to be cynical these days
So there's only one thing left to do:

Believe
Sometimes traffic lights are green,
Sometimes people keep their word,
In spite of everything you've heard,
It's true that,
Sometimes nice guys finish first,
Sometimes true love really lasts,
Sometimes all the world can change
If only you believe.

Still you say the phone rings every time you want to take a bath
Or take a nap, or you just need peace
But tell me this, did you really want to be
So all alone as you are now?
Don't you need a friend who knows
It's in the way you see the glass
Once you know that it's half full, it overflows
Every time that you

Believe
Sometimes Christmas's are white,
Sometimes wedding days are clear,
Sometimes rain falls right on time
To wash away your tears.
Sometimes cornfields touch the sky,
Sometimes sunsets make you cry,
Sometimes you see what Jesus sees
When you look in the mirror

And love isn't something that is just for everyone else
It's for you
Believe what I say is true
In spite of all the ways you feel right now
You've got to find some way some how to

Believe
Sometimes the good live long,
Sometimes kindness reaches far,
Sometimes you hear your favorite song
Right when you get in the car.
You don't have to move the sky,
But you can chase the clouds away
You don't have to change the world.
You might do it anyway.

Believe
Sometimes nice guys finish first
You don't have to change the world.
You might do it anyway.
