All I know is what I've been sold You can read my life like a fortune told I've seen the dream, there's no land of Oz But I got my brain and I got a heart And courage built I won't let go What we need right now is, soul I can't do this, you can't do that They feed us lines but I won't act And all good things will come to pass But the truth is all you have to have And would you lie for it? (Do you) cry for it? (Would you) die for it? Would you I believe, I believe With every breath that I breathe You and me can turn a whisper to a scream I believe, I believe You know what you came here for You'll pay the cost, like it's your cross to bear Are we the ones that put it there Would you scheme for it scream for it, bleed for it Would you I believe, I believe Believe we're still worth The fight you'll see There's no hope for this world tonight I believe, I believe Don't look up on your movie screens In record stores or magazines Close your eyes and you will see That you are all you really need I believe, I believe With every breath that I breathe You and me can turn a whisper to a scream I believe, I believe
