Believe Lyrics

I am you and you are me
Why’s that such a mystery ?
If you want it you got to believe
Who are we ?
We’re who we are
Riding on this great big star
We’ve got to stand up if we’re gonna be free yeah

If you want it you got to believe
Believe in yourself
‘Cause it’s all just a game
We just want to be loved

The Son of God is in your face
Offering us eternal grace
If you want it you’ve got to believe
‘Cause being free is a state of mind
We’ll one day leave this all behind
Just put your faith in God
And one day you’ll see it

If you want it you got it
You just got to believe
Believe in yourself
‘Cause it’s all just a game
We just want to be loved

The future’s in our present hands
Let’s reach right in
Let’s understand
If you want it you’ve got to believe yeah

If you want it you got it
You just got to believe
Believe in yourself yeah
‘Cause it’s all just a game
We just want to be loved

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.

I've loved this song from the moment it came out. But this last year it became even more meaningful to me. It was my mother's favorite song and we listened to it together all the time. It jazzed me to see her grooving along to the guitar solo at the end of the song. She passed away late 2006 and this is the last song we played for her before she passed. So now an already meaningful song has been elevated even higher in my heart. R.I.P, Mommy.
