Carbon/Silicon


Well, the first thing 
I want to say was we make 
A fundamental mistake 
In telling people 
That they can 
Judge themselves
Because they 
The children of children 
Were not loved enough to be 
Given a real moral grounding
How can you judge yourself 
When no one told you the rules?

I believe in seeds 
I believe in water 
I believe in ideas
I believe in striving in work 
I believe 
That everybody has a chance
I believe in houses, safety 
Free power 
I believe in individuals 
In everybody
I believe in planet 
People, and open doors

Who loves you enough 
To tell you right from wrong?
Who loves you enough 
To instill the right values there?
Who loves you enough 
To guide you along?
Who loves you enough to care 
To give you hope and care?

I believe in in saying yes in full 
I believe that ideas can't be owned
They escape and break free 
I believe in in living large 
And a kool world order
I believe in kindness 
And trying to do what we say 
I believe in 
There's a lot to live for
I believe in tomorrow and today 
I believe in open doors

Who loves you enough 
To tell you right from wrong?
Who loves you enough 
To instill the right values there?
Who loves you enough 
To guide you along?
Who loves you enough to care 
To give you hope and care?
To give you hope and care?

I believe in the state of possibility 
I believe in national health
Participating in the positive idea 
I believe in giving hell
I believe in the sense of achievement 
And some kind of sensible law
I believe in getting it right 
In open windows and open doors

Who loves you enough 
To tell you right from wrong?
Who loves you enough 
To instill the right values there?
Who loves you enough 
To guide you along?
Who loves you enough to care 
To give you hope and care?

Who loves you enough 
To tell you right from wrong?
Who loves you enough 
To instill the right values there?
Who loves you enough 
To guide you along?
Who loves you enough to care 
To give you hope and care?
To give you hope and care?

Who loves you enough 
To tell you right from wrong?
Who loves you enough 
To instill the right values there?
Who loves you enough 
To guide you along?
Who loves you enough to care 
To give you hope and care?
