the more i believe

Proclaimers

The life that I?ve been living
From the day I first drew breath
Has been my way of forgetting
I?m on the journey to my death
You make my soul rise up
You make my eyes to see
When I place my faith in you
And I lose my belief in me

The less I believe in me
The more I believe in thee
The less I believe in me
The more I believe in thee

I don?t believe in beads or crystals
Instant karma or mother earth
I don?t believe that what I think
Makes any difference to what I?m worth
I don?t believe in reincarnation
I?m not coming back as a flower
I don?t bow my head to kings or priests
?cos I believe in your higher power

The less I believe in me
The more I believe in thee
The less I believe in me
The more I believe in thee

Oh you?ve given me a plan
That I don?t understand
?cos I?ve wandered over half the world
But I?ve remained an ignorant man
One thing that I know
Is when the final bell tolls
Human love won?t be enough
Good deeds can?t save my soul

Well I?m not afraid of dying
But I am afraid of you
Because you hear me when I?m lying
And you see the things I do
So the hands go round the clock
As the light goes from the room
And I can?t help thinking to myself
I?m going to find out much to soon

Oh you?ve given me a plan
That I don?t understand
?cos I?ve wandered over half the world
But I?ve remained a ignorant man
One thing that I know
Is when the final bell tolls
Human love won?t be enough
Good deeds can?t save my soul
I believe etc. etc......
