LYRICS

I believe in Jesus
His father's only son
I do believe he sees us
With the loaded gun.
I believe in the magic
Of the Mujahedin
I still believe in Daniel Ortega
The sun in Omega, the Lord of the Rings
I believe in most everything.
I believe, I believe

I have a friend in England
Who says I must escape
The meetings of Mao and Nixon
It's an old debate.

But I believe in the magic
Of the King and the Queen
And I still have a young rebel's sympathy
Radical symphonies still have a ring
I believe in most everything.
I believe
I fear this muddled thinking
Has to go some time
I fear this sinking feeling's
Not the best of signs
I feel I'm in trouble
As the Eighties close
I look to the future
I'm frightened, I'm scared U suppose.

You may think it's foolish
That I still believe in love
You laugh and you sneer - it's cruel
It's what I'm thinking of.

I believe in the magic
In the power of the soul
One to one's my equation
That carries the nation on to the goal
We're all brothers and sisters, I'm told.

I believe, I believe, I believe in love
Do you believe what you're seeing
Oh I believe in love.

I believe in love
I believe, I believe,
II believe, I believe, I believe in love.
