lyrics

I don’t believe in angels
Though it’s a comforting thought
And I don’t think there’s really a devil
Except for ones we might have bought
The things that happen in our lives
Aren’t always due to somebody else
Though sometimes I think we get some help
You can’t do everything yourself

Refrain: But I believe in a song
I believe in the flight of a hawk
I believe in the beauty of a snow covered field
I believe we can do more than just talk
I believe that somewhere there’s a place
For everyone to belong
I believe I’m gonna make it someday
And I believe in a song

I don’t believe that church on Sunday
Is the way to my reward
I don’t believe that you’re better off
Just because there’s more that you can afford
I don’t believe that truth is owned
That’s not what sets us apart
Just because they say they’ve seen the light
Doesn’t mean that I’m here in the dark (REFRAIN)

Bridge:
Maybe there is a spirit out there
I can’t believe it’s all that concerned
With whether we’re jumping through all the right hoops
It’s what we do with what we have learned

I don’t believe it’s always hopeful
Sometimes it doesn’t look good
If we’re not careful we could all end up gone
I’d avoid that if I could
Maybe all we can do is pretend
In the moments that look like the worst
If day is really gonna follow the night
We’ll have to get through the darkness first (REFRAIN)
