Because You Believe

Lyrics

Let's face it
Sometimes your faith is tested
Sometimes the prize is wrested
from your hands

Let's face it
Your best friend can let you down
your best plan may not work out
the way you planned


Even in a time of sorrow
Tomorrow can still be sweet


If you believe that love is stronger than evil
If you believe there's reason to hope
If you believe there can be a better future
And that you will see it
Because you believe.

Let's face it
Sometimes the news is bad
Sometimes the movie's sad
when it's ended

Let's face it.
Life can change so fast
A love that was supposed to last
can leave you stranded

Even in the darkest crisis
The light is never asleep

If you believe that love is stronger than evil
If you believe there's reason to hope
If you believe there can be a better future
And that you will see it
Because you believe it.

There will be a better future
And you will see it
Because you believe
