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
