Most People Are Good

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 hell of a lot

I believe most people are good

And most mamas 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 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 mamas 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 mamas 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 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
