I've been there and I've seen with those eyes   Green with envy, dark with anger   Or just plain blue   And I know the last thing you really want to hear    Is just what I'm about to tell you   But you have to hear the truth   I know it's stylish to be cynical these days   So there's only one thing left to do      Believe   Sometimes traffic lights are green,    Sometimes people keep their word   In spite of everything you've heard, it's true that   Sometimes nice guys finish first,    Sometimes true love really lasts   Sometimes all the world can change   If only you believe      Still you say the phone rings every time you want to take a bath   Or take a nap, or you just need peace   But tell me this, did you really want to be    So all alone as you are now?   Don't you need a friend who knows   It's in the way you see the glass   Once you know that it's half full, it overflows   Every time that you      Believe   Sometimes Christmases are white,    Sometimes wedding days are clear   Sometimes rain falls right on time    To wash away your tears   Sometimes cornfields touch the sky,    Sometimes sunsets make you cry   Sometimes you see what Jesus sees    When you look in the mirror      And love isn't something that is just for everyone else   It's for you   Believe what I say is true   In spite of all the ways you feel right now   You've got to find out some way somehow to      Believe   Sometimes the good live long,    Sometimes kindness reaches far   Sometimes you hear your favorite song    Right when you get in the car   You don't have to move the sky   But you can chase the clouds away   You don't have to change the world,    But you might do it anyway      Believe   Believe sometimes nice guys finish first   You don't have to change the world,    But you might do it anyway
