I BELIEVE IN YOU

I Believe In You

words and music by Dean Batstone

Amy put her hopes and dreams

In the pocket of her favourite jeans

Then wore them out chasing someone who did not believe

Mark got baptized by his God

Blessed with words and simple thought

Of love he gives to lonely housewives with lonely needs

I do not believe in perfect light

Perfect sight, or wrong or right

Seems I’ve lost the innocence of youth

There’s no such thing as perfect lies

Or time to kill, or private time

I guess I’ve lost my appetite for truth

But I believe in you

Steve’s a lawyer for the state

His golden tongue can legislate

But does nothing for that big chip on his shoulder

Joe’s an honest beaurocrat

If you can somehow picture that

But with no love in his heart, he just grows colder

You’re the light to my dark needs

You’re the angel praying for me

You’re the giver to my greed

You’re the love that’s healing me

Me, the classic Peter Pan

The boy inside the jaded man

I believe I’ve lost the fear of growing older
