Lyrics

WHAT YOU BELIEVE
(Written by: Michael H. Fuller ? May 20, 2004)

I NEVER LIVED UP - TO MY OWN EXPECTATIONS
I JUST LIVED DOWN TO
WHAT I THOUGHT OTHERS
THOUGHT OF ME

THEN YOU CAME
AND PAINTED ME - A PICTURE
OF- ME- THROUGH- YOUR- EYES
I SAW - WHAT YOU ? BELIEVE

I SAW THE PAIN IN LIFE ? HOW YOU TOOK IT
SMILING SWEETLY ? YOU?D SAY
?WE?LL GET THROUGH IT?
SOMEHOW SOMEONE SO STRONG NEEDING ME
LEAVES ME AMAZED

YOU SAW THE MAN I WAS BEFORE
BUT YOU SAID ?NO? ? YOU?RE SO MUCH MORE
I?M A BETTER MAN
FOR BEING - WHAT YOU ? BELIEVE

AND I?M NOT PERFECT ? OH, IT?S PLAIN TO SEE
AND LORD KNOWS - WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS
BUT- WITH- YOUR- FAITH- IN- ME
I?LL STAND UP TO ANYTHING
YES I - BELIEVE

CAUSE I SAW THE PAIN IN LIFE ? HOW YOU TOOK IT
SMILING SWEETLY ? YOU?D SAY
?WE?LL GET THROUGH IT?
SOMEHOW SOMEONE SO STRONG NEEDING ME
JUST LEAVES ME AMAZED

YES, YOU SAW THE MAN I WAS BEFORE
BUT YOU SAID ?NO? ? YOU?RE SO MUCH MORE
OH YES, I?M A BETTER MAN
FOR BEING WHAT YOU ? BELIEVE

AND I?LL ALWAYS TRY TO BE

WHAT YOU BELIEVE
