I was so frightened 
I almost ran away 
I didn't know that I could do 
Anything I needed to 

And then a bolt of lightning 
Hit me on my head 
Then I began to see 
I just needed to believe in me 

Now I, I believe in me 
And I, I believe in something more 
Than you can understand 
Yes, I believe in me 

They said I didn't stand a chance 
I wouldn't win no way 
But I've got news for you 
There's nothing I can't do 

Ain't no pretending 
Ain't no make believe 
But I've got to be the one 
I gotta do what must be done 

Now I, I believe in me 
And I, I believe in something more 
Than you can understand 
Yes, I believe in me

I believe in me 
Yes, I believe in me yeah 

I don't need no money 
I don't need no fame...no 
I just need to believe in me 
And I know most definitely 

Don't need to get wasted 
It only holds me down 
I just need a will of my own 
And the balls to stand alone 

Now I, I believe in me 
And I, I believe in something more 
Than you can understand 
Yes, I believe in me 
Well do you really 
Yes, I believe in me 
Do you do you 
Yes, I believe in me 
I want to rock 'n roll 
Yes, I believe in me! 

Morpheus, you have been summoned here to offer your judgment of the boy 
Do you still deem him worthy of the Fellowship? 
I certainly do, my lord. 
As a matter of fact, I, I think you're going like this one. He's got the light in his eyes and the look of a champion, 
A real champion
