I Want to Believe

from Bentley (RPM Challenge 2021) by Andrew North

lyrics

I set out well meaning, maybe even starry-eyed
Full of good intention and at least I know I tried
But when the beans are counted and I'm begging for reprieve
I want to believe

I want to believe
I want to believe
I want to believe, oh yeah
I want to believe

My parents did their level best, you know they raised me right
I never got in trouble and now I'm ever so polite
But the world is big and bad and now I know looks can deceive
I want to believe

I want to believe
I want to believe
I want to believe, oh yeah
I want to believe

Somebody call the pastor, there's nowhere I can run
Feels like I'm falling faster, still I fail to find the fun

I'm sick of being cynical, I'm sick of fear and hate
A day full up doom scrolling never leaves me feeling great
But a head down in the sand can never put my soul at ease
I want to believe

I want to believe
I want to believe
I want to believe, oh yeah
I want to believe

I showed up to church to see if God could sort things out
Gazed upon the true believers, watched them sing and shout
But in my heart I know it's true, their way is not for me
Still I want to believe

I want to believe
I want to believe
I want to believe, oh yeah
I want to believe
