the more i believe

The 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......
