Sure

I don’t trust people who are sure,
there’s not a lot we can be sure of,
and when they swear they’ve found the cure,
you’d better check what you’ll be cured of, yeah, yeah yeah..

it’s just so easy to be right, ‘cause all the answers come included,
but when we step into the light, this world is not what we expected,
+++ I believe in the beauty, I believe in the mystery,
+++ I believe we have a duty to try to learn from our history,
+++ and I believe in the moments when we see a little clearer,
+++ when the face of a stranger is the face in the mirror,
and I believe in you,
and in the love that is the glue to hold it all together..

and I don’t trust people who are mean,
so I don’t trust myself in traffic,
we’re just a bunch of human beings,
we seem to get a little frantic,
+++++ but think of all the colors we can’t even see,
+++++ there’s music we can’t hear in other frequencies,
+++++ and think of all the stuff that we assume only
+++++ ‘cause we learned it in our families..

so we can argue about truth,
pick your prophet, pick your poison,
but none of us has any proof,
let’s visit each other’s illusions..
+++ I believe in the beauty, I believe in the mystery,
+++ I believe we have a duty to try to learn from our history,
+++ and I believe there are moments when we see a little clearer,
+++ when the face of a stranger is the face in the mirror,
+++ and I believe in the wonder of the child,
+++ in the wisdom of the wild, in the courage not to just get squeezed,
+++ and I believe that love is strong, that war is wrong,
+++ that would could learn to get along, and maybe
+++ we’d be free if we could stand it, free if we could stand it,
and I believe in you, I believe in you, I believe in you,
you’re the love that is the glue to hold it all together…
