I believe in Jesus

his father's only son

I do believe he sees us

with the loaded gun.



I believe in the magic 

Of the Mujahedin

I still believe in Daniel Ortega

the sun in Omega, the Lord of the Rings

I believe in most everything.

I believe, I believe



I have a friend in England

who says I must escape

the meetings of Mao and Nixon

it's an old debate.



But I believe in the magic

of the King and the Queen

And I still have a young rebel's sympathy

radical symphonies still have a ring

I believe in most everything.

I believe

I fear this muddled thinking

has to go some time

I fear this sinking feeling's

not the best of signs

I feel I'm in trouble

as the Eighties close

I look to the future

I'm frightened, I'm scared U suppose.



You may think it's foolish 

that I still believe in love

You laugh and you sneer

-it's cruel

It's what I'm thinking of.



I believe in the magic

in the power of the soul

one to one's my equation

that carries the nation on to the goal

we're all brothers and sisters, I'm told.



I believe, I believe, I believe in love

do you believe what you're seeing

Oh I believe in love.



I believe in love

I believe, I believe, 

I believe, I believe, I believe in love.
