I believe kids oughta stay kids
as long as they can
Turn off the screen
Go climb a tree
Get dirt on their hands
I believe we gotta forgive
And make amends
'Cause nobody gets
a second chance
to make new old friends
I believe in workin' hard
for what you've got
Even if it don't add up
to a **** of a lot
I believe most people are good
And most mama's ought-a
qualify for sainthood
I believe most Friday nights
look better under neon
or stadium lights
I believe you love who you love
Ain't nothin' you should ever
be ashamed of
I believe this world ain't
half as bad as it looks
I believe most people are good
I believe them streets of gold
are worth the work
But I'd still wanna go
even if they were paved in dirt
I believe that youth is spent
well on the young
'Cause wisdom in your teens
would be a lot less fun
I believe if you just go
by the nightly news
Your faith in all mankind would
be the first thing you lose
I believe most people are good
And most mama's oughta
qualify for sainthood
I believe most Friday nights
look better under neon
or stadium lights
I believe you love who you love
Ain't nothin' you should ever
be ashamed of
I believe this world ain't
half as bad as it looks
I believe most people are good
I believe that days go slow
And years go fast
And every breath's a gift
The first one to the last
I believe most people are good
And most mama's oughta
qualify for sainthood
I believe most Friday nights
look better under neon
or stadium lights
I believe you love who you love
Ain't nothin' you should ever
be ashamed of
I believe this world ain't
half as bad as it looks
I believe most people are good
I believe most people are good
I believe most people are good
