Hope

I want to start again
I want to believe
against all evidence and
experience I receive
I want to believe
I want to believe

If someone would just be kind enough
to show me
show me
show me

I want to believe in love
I want to believe we're not alone
I want to believe in human beings
life can't be just a combat zone

I want to believe in trust
I want to believe in you and me
I want to believe we can survive
and share peaceful reality

it's just not there when I look around
I see how you put each other down
I want no part of your competition
I want no part of your suspicion
I want no part of your conditions
or the fears in which you drown
I don't understand
you don't understand
so I'll just play the clown
and you can wear the crown

I live in a giddy euphoria in my mind
A hopelessly hopeful romantic kind
you can tell me that I'm falling down
maybe you are blind
we all see what we want to see
What we want to find
I want to see someone being kind

I want to start again
I want to believe
against all evidence and
experience I receive
I want to believe
I want to believe

If someone would just be kind enough
to show me
show me
show me

I want to believe in love
I want to believe we're not alone
I want to believe in human beings
life can't be just a combat zone

I want to believe in trust
I want to believe in you and me
I want to believe we can survive
and share peaceful reality
