We Must Believe

Look at his hair, look at his clothes
Jump to conclusions, but we'll never know
Look at his past, look at his skin
Never knowing the person, but still we condemn
Everyone says "This guy's going nowhere"
Do you think these words will help him grow?
What is the cost to encourage another?
Human potential-we'll never know
We must believe-no one has to be a slave to destiny
We must believe-in everyone's potentiality
We must believe-yes, I believe in your ability

Look at his paycheck, look at his home
Study externals, but still he's unknown
Look at his social circle of friends
Base your opinions on how much he spends
I won't condemn a person for what they were
Or what they are today
We must see each soul as greater
As a sculptor sees a lump of clay

We must believe-no one has to be a slave to destiny
We must believe-in everyone's potentiality
We must believe-yes, I believe in your ability

Yes I believe!

Caught in a crowd of people that think the joy of life
Is to sit around and criticize
And laugh and carryon like nothing's wrong
But nothing's right
Caught in a crowd of people, and it's strangling me
Of a better judgement, because I whole-heartedly believe
That people can change
Change
