We Believe

[Verse 1]

I believe there is no evil out there we did not have a hand in

You believe it is a time for peace and a time for understanding

Some of us believe that we are chosen

And if God is on our side we will win the game

And some of us believe that there is a heaven

When the trumpets sound and the judges call your name

But let us get it straight

I believe there is just once chance in this world to hear our brothers

You believe there is a better way to listen to each other

We do not get what the other guy is saying

We hear the words but we do not understand

So around the world the same old anger raging

And we all cry for shame and the same old tragedy goes down

[Chorus]

We believe there is a better way to fight

There is a way to make our children safe at night

We believe there is a war we could be winning

But the only way to win it is to give what we need to receive

[Verse 2]

I believe we need a hero to step boldly from the shadows

You believe there must be someone on the scene that fits the bill

A man or a woman who knows how to say I am sorry

With courage in his heart to match his creed

A leader who can build a brand new morning

And match the tide of changes

Match the intent with the deed

[Chorus]

We believe there is a deed of obligation

To bring reconciliation

To make peace with every nation - in our time

We believe there is not a minute we should be wasting

When the darkness falls it is too late to fix the crime

It is peace that we need

[Verse 3]

Every father every mother knows the meaning

Human treasure that our leaders do forget

And the bullets fly in the face of common reason

And the pain we give is the legacy in the end we get

[Chorus]

We believe there is a song that is worth the singing

It is a song of truth we are bringing

There is a way to share the Earth with everyone

We believe every creature has a being

Has a right to respect and feeling

To live and breathe and flourish in the sun

That's what we believe
