I Still Believe
The hangman takes words of hope
And in a moment's rage pulls the rope
Politician takes money from the poor
Till they starve to death and are no more
The policeman ties a black man's hands
Blood on a sidewalk, truth be damned
Some say if there's prayer and there's a God out there
Send your messenger now and make it clear
I say this no matter how many webs man weaves
As long as I'm breathing, I still believe
Dictator screams into the microphone
Kills who he wants, he may be stoned
Teacher writes upon the board
A good book is nothing but old folk lore
Mayor talks of change till morning comes
But all the news is the same under the sun
Some say if there's prayer and there's a God out there
Send your messenger now and make it clear
I say this no matter how many webs man weaves
As long as I'm breathing, I still believe
I still believe
The chain gang sings the songs of a million sinners
The church brings breadcrumbs as they dig their graves
Sinners talking to the saint about to preach
Saying common sense is now too far out of reach
And the child of tomorrow feels so all alone
Wondering if he'll ever be fully grown
Oh some say if there's prayer and there's a God out there
Send your messenger now and make it clear
I say this no matter how many webs man weaves
As long as I'm breathing, I still believe
I still believe
I still believe
And in a moment's rage pulls the rope
Politician takes money from the poor
Till they starve to death and are no more
The policeman ties a black man's hands
Blood on a sidewalk, truth be damned
Some say if there's prayer and there's a God out there
Send your messenger now and make it clear
I say this no matter how many webs man weaves
As long as I'm breathing, I still believe
Dictator screams into the microphone
Kills who he wants, he may be stoned
Teacher writes upon the board
A good book is nothing but old folk lore
Mayor talks of change till morning comes
But all the news is the same under the sun
Some say if there's prayer and there's a God out there
Send your messenger now and make it clear
I say this no matter how many webs man weaves
As long as I'm breathing, I still believe
I still believe
The chain gang sings the songs of a million sinners
The church brings breadcrumbs as they dig their graves
Sinners talking to the saint about to preach
Saying common sense is now too far out of reach
And the child of tomorrow feels so all alone
Wondering if he'll ever be fully grown
Oh some say if there's prayer and there's a God out there
Send your messenger now and make it clear
I say this no matter how many webs man weaves
As long as I'm breathing, I still believe
I still believe
I still believe
