I Believe

I've known people who go through their days Like a wide eyed old dog slowly crawling away Fearful, watching the people go by Never trusting anyone or taking the time Just to say hi There've been times when I acted this way When I needed so much, I pushed people away Only wanting the things that I had Never looking for more than the way that I am But now I believe in everyone I meet In everyone who shows me something I can never be And I believe in everywhere I go In how it's all the same as where I came from You may find yourself running away From an actor pretending to be what they're saying But I've learned from the years I have seen That the fool is who acts upon only one thing And why I believe in everyone I meet In everyone who shows me something I can never be And I believe in everywhere I go In how it's all the same as where I came from But what is more than what you want and what you need in anything? And if you go to where you feel where you belong suddenly seems So bloody awful when it's over and you're holding up your head Wondering why you bothered at all But I believe in everyone I meet In everyone who shows me something I can never be And I believe in everywhere I go In how it's all the same as where I came from And I believe in everyone I meet In everyone who shows me something I can never be And I believe in everywhere I go In how it's all the same as where I came from Because what is more than what you love And what you learn from everything? And if you go to where you feel so bloody awful all you need Is to go on to where you grow within the things that you have seen Wondering why you worried at all
