Believe

----
I want you made of stone
Then maybe I can call you my own
I never took anything from you and I'm sure
You don't realise everyone you know adds to you character

Maybe you want to learn who you are
Things you do, things you say push you too far
Maybe you cannot see the person you were meant to be
Maybe you've gotta believe in yourself for a change
Believe in yourself for a while

I want you made of sand
Then maybe you wouldn't fall apart so often
Then you'd be one step closer to some kind of strength
Then you'd be one step closer to living your life at length

Maybe you want to know who you are
Things you do, things you say push you too far
Maybe you cannot see the person you were made to be
Maybe you've gotta believe in yourself for a while
Believe in yourself for a change

I can't understand your way of thinking
Then I'm not sure anyone knows mine
I'm tryin' to figure out have you got any reason at all
Or do you think you're alive to please everyone else all of the time

Be yourself for a while, you'll find you enjoy it more than you think
Be yourself for a while, you'll find you enjoy it more than you think
Be yourself for a while, you'll find you enjoy it more than you think
Try to figure out who you are then you'll know who you wanna be

Maybe you want to learn who you are
Things you do, things you say push you too far
Maybe you cannot see the person you were made to be
Maybe you've gotta believe in yourself for a while
Believe in yourself for a change
