Believe Lyrics

You better wake up
It's been a long long time
You better watch out
There's gonna steal you blind
And it's a long way
No matter where you are

So tell me how we're gonna get that far
Tell me how we're gonna get that far
Just tell me how we're gonna get that far
Tell me how we're gonna get that far

Wait, I don't think we can make it
Through this world without some
Faith, when everything is falling through our hands
We must, believe, believe

You better wake up
We gonna go back home
They're gonna love you
When they see you all alone
You gotta new face, with the same old scars

So tell me how you're gonna get that far
Tell me how you're gonna get that far, oh
Just tell me how we're gonna get that far
Tell me how we're gonna get that far

Wait, I don't think we can make it
Through this world without some
Faith, when everything is falling through our hands
We must, believe
Stop turning it away
Start turning it around

We must, believe
Stop turning it away
Start turning it around
We must, believe
Stop turning it away
Start turning it around, now

Wait, I don't think we can make it
Through this world without some
Faith, when everything is falling through our hands
We must, believe

Wait, I don't think we can make it
Through this world without some
Faith, when everything is falling through our hands
We must, believe, believe
We must believe
We must believe

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

So, does anybody know? Is this about belief in yourself, in a higher power? Sounds like in God, but I wasn't sure if Rob Thomas was religious at all.
