Believe lyrics

[Intro]

What do you believe, what do you believe, believe, believe, believe;

What do you believe; what do you believe; what do you believe

[Chorus 1]

Everybody needs something to see; something to feel;

And something to be, yeah-eah; everybody needs something as proof;

Something in hand; to know the truth

Everybody needs something to see; something to feel;

And something to be, yeah-eah; everybody needs something as proof;

Something in hand; to know the truth

Everybody needs something to see; something to feel;

And something to be, yeah-eah; everybody needs something as proof;

Something in hand; to know the truth

[Verse 1]

Livin lavish like the Biltmore; what the blood spilt for;

A ship in harbor is safe; but that ain't what it's built for;

Do all I can to help you get more; if you forgive my slight intrusion;

I see this night is confusin'; a constant fight with illusions;

Shed a light on conclusions; what you desire is a way out;

Day in and day out; do not disturb signs; so I'll stay out;

How long will you let the torture grasp you; I see spirits manifestin';

Blockin' blessings with the questions; that you hear me ask you;

Keep it up so much will pass you; you can make it on a prayer;

Yeah, that's true; but barely getting' by, when you can do more;

Why would you want to; forgettin' that the wood's dry and the fire's on you;

Life's a hassle, be prepared to rassle; it can be rough; but it don't have to;

You can make it full of smiles; somethin' to laugh to; so pick and choose;

My message thick; so squeeze and watch it ooze;

Make it a game to where your fears lose; let's go

[Chorus 1]

Everybody needs something to see; something to feel;

And something to be, yeah-eah; everybody needs something as proof;

Something in hand; to know the truth

Everybody needs something to see; something to feel;

And something to be, yeah-eah; everybody needs something as proof;

Something in hand; to know the truth

[Verse 2]

There's a way that seems right; in the heart of a man;

And many angels of light; in disguise destroyin' man;

So most choose to refuse; the absolute truth; replace it with lies;

Use ignorance as excuse; it's hard to conceive;

What the mind can't comprehend; and harder to believe;

What the eyes can't understand; we look to theory, philosophies and thought;

For a sure foundation; in a belief we once sought; while the shadow of truth;

Cast an image so clear; the closer it gets; we reject it out of fear;

If we really wanted truth; we would give our lives for it;

Walk in its direction of light; for God's glory; the saga continues;

‘Cause most hearts are deceived; if we really wanted truth;

We would live and believe; so the saga continues;

‘Cause most hearts are deceived; if we really wanted truth;

We would live and believe in it

[Chorus 1]

Everybody needs something to see; something to feel;

And something to be, yeah-eah; everybody needs something as proof;

Something in hand; to know the truth, yeah

Everybody needs something to see; something to feel;

And something to be, yeah-eah; everybody needs something as proof;

Something in hand; to know the truth

Everybody needs something to see; something to feel;

And something to be, yeah-eah; everybody needs something as proof;

Something in hand; to know the truth

Everybody needs something to see; something to feel;

And something to be, yeah-eah; everybody needs something as proof;

Something in hand; to know the truth

[Chorus 2]

Everybody needs something as proof; something in hand;

To know the truth; everybody needs something to see;

Something to feel; and something to be, yeah
