Believe It When I See It

Whistling over trestles

And past the graveyard sign

We cast our wayward line

Inside a wishing well

We've just a wish and an empty vessel

A hole to fill with days

On a road where children stray

Then pray there is no hell and as for heaven, well

If seeing, if seeing is believing

I'll believe it, believe it when I see it

I'll believe it when I see it

With my own two eyes

This ain't no random shuffle

There's reason in these rhymes

A season and a time

In a climate of fear and blood

In the tavern two men did scuffle

Their drunken battle moaned

They groaned like cattle groan

No diamonds here in the rough and as for peace and love

If seeing, if seeing is believing

I'll believe it, believe it when I see it

I'll believe it when I see it

With my own two eyes

And when faced with a difficult decision

Would you listen to your heart or mind?

We're bound to waste all our free will and ambition

If we got no vision and we got no spine and as for peace of mind

If seeing, if seeing is believing

I'll believe it, believe it when I see it

I'll believe it when I see it

With my own two eyes
