(We) Believe

A city falls
Outcome of war
Destruction lives
Upon the soil
The wealthy live
A need to give
A hunger survives

While an injustice calls
A so claimed prophet falls
Another racial war
And then the countries torn
About the way you're born
To be preached and scorned
What the hell's right or wrong?

Ooh,
Are y'all ready?
Y'all not ready for me
Pull the seat up baby let me talk you up
Cause its' reality
It's not a fantasy
Can you dig it with me?

If we believe
That love will still conquer most everythang
Though money will say about anythang
Just to throw us into the game

You give and receive
Acknowledge and respecting everyone
Quit act like you're living as the only one
Livin' like we've no compassion

With another gas increase
Comes a world disease
Politicians cease trying to keep a peace
There's no integrity
Forget Equality
Where's the L-O-V-E?

An immigration law
Serving religious flaws
Embrace the human right
And understand the cause
Let's aid the homelessness
And let us serve our Vets
Can you live up to the test?

Ooh
If you're ready
Say you're ready for me
Pull a chair up baby let me chat you up
It ain't cable T.V.
It ain't on M.T.V.
We're livin' history

If we believe
That life's too short to be holdin' on to thangs
Put that money on everythang
Open up your heart
Wanna sang

It's such a relief (it's such a relief)
Thinkin' bout it in the grand scheme of thangs
When life could be so different in so many ways

Ooh
makes me wanna reach out and say

So who's on top of the world?
Well then that's alright with me
Though how'd you get where you are?
And did you give for the need?
Maybe like open a door
Or did you give up your seat?
You greet 'em at the front door
Or even look up to see

And did you pick up the phone
Call just for someone to eat?
Or how bout open your mouth
And cast a vote for the deed
You volunteer of your time
In teaching someone to read
You're showing children to love
And showing equality

If we believe
That love will still conquer most everythang
Though money will say about anythang
Just to throw us into the game

You give and receive
Acknowledge and respecting everyone
Quit act like you're living as the only one
Livin' like we know compassion

If we believe (if we believe)
That life's too short to be holdin' on to thangs
I put that money on everythang
Ooh
Open up your heart
Wanna sang

It's such a relief (it's such a relief)
Thinkin' bout it in the grand scheme of thangs
When life could be so different in so many ways
I open up my heart
Wanna say

I really wanna believe
I mean I really wanna
I wanna know and believe
That we can do the right thing
I need to know that we can
We can exchange of our hands
That we can love with our words
And we can share in the land
