A father can give you his word
But words are just symbols for things
And after he has gone
That's when you learn to sing

A mother can give you her breast
But soon that's all she'll bring
And when she has left
That's when you learn to sing

People in this life
I know we lie and decieve
It's not that I'm blind
I just want to believe

And when your love grabs your arm
And whipers the sweetest of lies
All those around you wonder
How could you've been surprised

It's written in her eyes
That hope is a dangerous theme
Nightingale, you stumble and fail
Is that how you learned how to sing

People in this life
I know you lie and decieve
I'm not so blind
I just wanted.....

People in this world
I know you hurt and decieve
I'm not so blind
I just want to believe
I want to believe
I want to believe
