I wake up in the morning Go out to face the day I say, "brother, how you doin'?" In my plain and simple way But if I don't get an answer I just turn my head and smile 'Cause I believe in people Lord, that makes it all worthwhile I believe, I believe, I believe in people. I believe, I believe, I believe in people As I walk down the street, lord With my hair down in my eyes, You know, folks, they always Stare at me, but it's only my disguise Underneath these clothes I wear, my soul is so revived 'Cause I believe in people and I'm so glad to be alive I believe in people and I'm so glad to be alive
