You Gotta Believe
If you really want the things you wantStop fooling aroundIf you only want a place to hideThen the best place is in the groundThe future’s coming but it’s so obscureYou’d give it everything you’ve got if you could only be sureBut sometimes, to make it happenYou gotta believe
The very thing that makes you feel aliveMakes you feel like dyingYou gotta wonder what you came here forIf it’s not worth the tryingYou know the outlook’s not a brilliant oneThere’s every reason why this isn’t a risk you should runBut sometimes, to make it happenYou gotta believe
If you want a dream that survivesYou have to be there when it arrives
You see it dwindle as you drain it downWhat’s left in the tank?You’ve got to pony up your courage againIf you do, would it break the bank?You’d take the chance but you remember whenYou’d shoot the moon and wind up disappointed againBut sometimes, to make it happenYou gotta believe
