I believe there's no evil out there we didn't have a hand in

You believe it's 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'll win the game

And some of us believe that there's a heaven


When the trumpets sound and the judges call your name


But let's get it straight




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


You believe there's a better way to listen to each other

We don't get what the other guy is saying


We hear the words but we don't understand


So around the world the same old anger raging

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





We believe there's a better way to fight

There's a way to make our children safe at night


We believe there's a war we could be winning


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




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'm 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




We believe there's a deed of obligation


To bring reconciliation


To make peace with every nation - in our time

We believe there's not a minute we should be wasting


When the darkness falls it's too late to fix the crime


It's peace that we need




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




We believe there's a song that's worth the singing

It's a song of truth we're bringing

There's 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
