Better Than A Thousand

We Must Believe

Better Than A Thousand


Look at his hair, look at his clothes 
Jump to conclusions, but we'll never know 
Look at his past, look at his skin 
Never knowing the person, but still we condemn 
Everyone says "This guy's going nowhere" 
Do you think these words will help him grow? 
What is the cost to encourage another? 
Human potential-we'll never know 
We must believe-no one has to be a slave to destiny 
We must believe-in everyone's potentiality 
We must believe-yes, I believe in your ability 

Look at his paycheck, look at his home 
Study externals, but still he's unknown 
Look at his social circle of friends 
Base your opinions on how much he spends 
I won't condemn a person for what they were 
Or what they are today 
We must see each soul as greater 
As a sculptor sees a lump of clay 

We must believe-no one has to be a slave to destiny 
We must believe-in everyone's potentiality 
We must believe-yes, I believe in your ability 

Yes I believe! 

Caught in a crowd of people that think the joy of life 
Is to sit around and criticize 
And laugh and carryon like nothing's wrong 
But nothing's right 
Caught in a crowd of people, and it's strangling me 
Of a better judgement, because I whole-heartedly believe 
That people can change 
Change
