Believing you won't
get cancer if you smoke
is one delusion;
believing you won't
if you don't's another;
the world is working
to eliminate chance
and in so-doing
insures accident.

Keep On Believing
I woke up in the quiet dark
Fed the cat and hit the park
Cutest chicest chocolate queen
Look and smiled right at me
Keep on believing, keep on believing
Keep on believing, keep on believing
She said "hi" without no sound
Made my head go Iight and 'round
She was dressed to kill tne pope
Ard what she did she gave me hope
I smiled back without no sound
I said "hi" and left the ground
Keep on believing, keep on believing, keep on believing
Life won't leave me alone
Trouble won't leave rne alone
Strenght don't leave me alone
Truth don't leave me alone
She looked so bright in pixie hair
She made me know how much I cared
Her brown eyes gave me butterflies
Sho towed my soul up to the sky
Keep on believing, keep on believing
Keep on believing, keep on believing

Believe In Magic
A good part of magic
Is in the believing
And the magic of believing
Is in itself quite magical as well
Believing there is no magic…
No wondrous illusion
Well, I believe, without any delusion
That that… would be tragic as hell

What Am I doing
Missing you is what I been doing
Thought we were going to make it
Guess we were wrong about each other
Believing in love was just so foolish to do
Believing you can love me was just stupid
The thing is I miss you like hell
Still believing you could love me
Knowing what I know I still love you
Holding on not wanting to let go of you
Belong to you is what I will want from you

I Cant Help It
(barry gibb)
Oh, i
Baby, what a fool I am
First a boy and then a man am i
And you
Youre the heart of it all
Youre the things I say and do
Am I wasting my time hanging around
You would be gone
But I cant help it
Every moment that I think about you
Every day and every night without you
I cant survive
Love, take away the lonely days gone by
Make it every day for you and i
Giving me a chance to go on believing
Girl, you gotta go on believing
Boy, you gotta go on believing
You
Baby youre the breath I take
Coming from the heart in love am i
And you
Youre the heart of it all
Youre the things I say and do
Am I wasting my time hanging around
You would be gone
But I cant help it
Every moment that I think about you
Every day and every night without you
I cant survive
Love, take away the lonely days gone by
Make it every day for you and i
Giving me a chance to go on believing
Girl, you gotta go on believing
Boy, you gotta go on believin

Field Of Innocence
I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now
Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all
I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now
Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything
Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything
Oh where, where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything

The False Repentance
She walks around in misery
She walks around in pain
She walks around—making me go insane
Believing she has
Rights?
Believing she can she have
Ambitions?
Believing she can walk alone
any one of these nights?
What Nonsense
What Rubbish
…What a thought— that makes me tense
The power in her swaying hips
My power in my voice
The power in her pouted lips
No need there be
for any opportunity of choice
123
Never confuse
what is moral to believe
with what is useful.
You will find yourself
believing things you never
thought you could believe
and dis-believing others.

Believing: it means believing in our own lies. And I can say that I am grateful that I got this lesson very early.

Two Hearts
Featured on the soundtrack of buster, 1988
Well, there was no reason to believe shed always be there
But if you dont put faith in what you believe in
Its getting you nowhere
Cos it hurts, you never let go
Dont look down, just look up
Cos shes always there to behind you, just to remind you
Two hearts, believing in just one mind
You know were two hearts believing in just one mind
Cos theres no easy way to, to understand it
Theres so much of my life in her, and its like Im blinded
And it teaches you to never let go
Theres so much love youll never know
She can reach you no matter how far
Wherever you are
Two hearts, believing in just one mind
Beating together till the end of time
You know were two hearts believing in just one mind
Together forever till the end of time
She knows (she knows)
Therell always be a special place in my heart for her
She knows, she knows, she knows
Yeah, she knows (she knows)
No matter how far apart we are
She knows, Im always right there beside her
Were two hearts...

Perhaps believing in good design is like believing in God, it makes you an optimist.
It only takes a politician believing in what he says for the others to stop believing him.

The Death Of John Smith
Ive got respect from the community
Ive got my bridge game to look forward to
Ive got this chance, a golden opportunity
As long as I keep doing what Im supposed to
You see my wife and kids, they depend on me
To provide them with nothing but the best
I feel its my duty, my obligation
To live up to the standards society suggusts
So Ill keep on working for their benefit
And Ill keep on drinking
Ill keep on believing in my life
Another year of slaving and smiling, buying and trading
Living the life of a wealthy man
But somehow I dont feel so rich inside
But that doesnt make sense
I just had a two week vacation
As soon as I get this operation
Taken care of, Ill start enjoying
The good things in life
So Ill keep on working for the benefits
And Ill keep on drinking
Ill keep believing in my life
When the pity spins your mind,
Darkness fills your heart,
And I wont be around
When youre feeling all alone
Then youll know its time,
To go into the ground
When the pity spins your mind,
Darkness fills your heart,
And I wont be around
Ive got my family, friends, and associates
To stand by me as the threshold comes near
Within their faces I see grave concern
As I ask myself if their thoughts are sincere
After all these years of being complacent
What do I get? tenderness, affection, a true sense of love?
No! just a pain through a body chalk full of regret
Ill keep on believing my life still has value
And Ill keep on laughing
Why cant I stop laughing? I cant stop the laughing.

Seeing is believing, believe.
Taken that all that exist are maya,
as from the projection of our mind,
It is hard to believe that God is real,
who, of course, exists not to our eye.
If seeing is not believing
How is unseeing believing?

Allowing Themselves to Die
They are allowing themselves to die.
As if to hide their indisgressions.
They lie to themselves.
To protect from an array of delusions.
Infections inflicted,
And they still sit.
Worrying if their incest infestations...
Will save them from the grave.
So they pray as taught.
Believing this protects them from hidden sins.
Believing denials provide a truth,
As a darkness closes in.
Believing no one knows,
They suffer from their own chosen sorrows.
Hoping tomorrow will erase their disgrace.
But they have replaced honesty!
And that is written on each and every face.
They choose to be fools.
And that with deception to them is traced!
Quietly...
Although without honor or with grace!
