The More I Believe
The life that I’ve been living From the day I first drew breath Has been my way of forgetting I’m on the journey to my death You make my soul rise up You make my eyes to see When I place my faith in you And I lose my belief in me
The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee
I don’t believe in beads or crystals Instant karma or mother earth I don’t believe that what I think Makes any difference to what I’m worth I don’t believe in reincarnation I’m not coming back as a flower I don’t bow my head to kings or priests ‘Cos I believe in your higher power
The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee
Oh you’ve given me a plan That I don’t understand 'Cos I’ve wandered over half the world But I’ve remained an ignorant man One thing That I know Is when the final bell tolls Human love won’t be enough Good deeds can’t save my soul
Well I’m not afraid of dying But I am afraid of you Because you hear me when I’m lying And you see the things I do So the hands go round the clock As the light goes from the room And I can’t help thinking to myself I’m going to find out much to soon
The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee
Oh you’ve given me a plan That I just don’t understand 'Cos I’ve wandered over half the world But I’ve remained a ignorant man One thing that I know Is when the final bell tolls Human love won’t be enough Good deeds can’t save my soul
I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe
You make my soul rise up You make my eyes to see When I place my faith in you And I lose my belief in me
The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee
