"Belief" Lyrics

"once when i had faith in the world
i thought people got what they deserved
i was so young and so naïve

now i've grown i've changed my mind
the world and god are really not that kind
but still i clung to my beliefs

still i believed

but when only a stone says you were here
(has it been that long?) these years
have passed but i'm still in disbelief

in disbelief

and all the times i've been betrayed
they take my soul and they throw it away
and once again i am deceived

and i bleed
i bleed

you tell me what is justified
how fair is love or war when children die?
is there no hope and no relief?

when right is oft repaid with wrong
i guess the meek will never beat the strong
so much for faith and my beliefs

do i believe?
i believe...

i believe
i believe
i believe in what i see

do i believe?"
