I had to believe
Once I was  conceived
Once It was  time for me to leave
Born not to disbelieve
Certainly nothing yet to grieve
That would make me not believe
Not yet deceived
As I grew I believed
There was so much that I/we could achieve
If only we would believe
In
Our self  
His self
Her self
It's self
Myself
Self
Yes! That's all I had to do was believe
Now I look at what I have believed
I have to wonder if I have been deceived
Because there was so much that I believed
In
God
Faith
Love
Romance
Fame
Fortune
Normal things that I wanted to believe
That I never could achieve
And I believed
And I believed
And I believed
But just because I did not achieve
Does not mean that I will ever give up on what I

Believe
