why does no one seem to understand
that it's more than love i need
it's so hard to keep your faith alive
when nobody else believes
oh i need someone there for me
need someone who can see
need someone to show me
ohhhh, that they are there to help me fight
if i fall, to set me right
someone there to hold the light
won't someone say

i believe in you
i believe in you
i believe in you
i believe in you

it's so hard to do it all yourself
fighting for your dreams alone
when the toy's upon the highest shelf
a child's tears soon become stone
oh why does no one lend a hand
why does no one understand
why i need to make a stand
ohhhh,it's so hard to carry on
when all your hope is gone
all your dreams have come undone
i need to hear

i believe in you
i believe in you
i believe in you
i believe in you

why won't someone say these words
are they really so absurd?
must they always go unheard?
ohhhh, if someone needed the light
i'd be there to help them fight
if they fell, i'd set them right
and then i'd say

i believe in you
i believe in you
i believe in you
i believe in you
i believe in you
won't someone say i believe in you
i believe in you
won't someone say i believe in you
i need to hear i believe in you
i believe in you
