[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
It takes my breath away
To see people live from day to day
Without respect for each other
Without a love for their brothers
Without a second of kindness
Or a minute to be reminded
That we all have a common cause
And together, we could conquer all
[Chorus]
But I believe, I believe, I believe, yeah
I believe that the whole damn world is going crazy
I believe, now
I believe that the whole damn world is going crazy
Mmm, yeah
[Verse 2]
Ah, lovers without anyone to love
Because hate is taking over
Even though we're lost without love, yeah
And there’s a mother
Who would leave her child without love?
Now, is that the way God planned it
Or the lack of love?
[Chorus]
I believe, yeah
I believe that the whole damn world is going crazy
I believe, now
I believe that the whole damn world is going crazy
[Outro]
Look at the world, there's not a sign of peace nowhere (I believe that the whole damn world is going crazy)
And does anybody care? Yes, love folks do (I believe that the whole damn world is going crazy)
All the hate, all the discrimination (I believe that the whole damn world is going crazy)
In the Holy, Holy, Holy Land, oh, there's a man with a gun in his hand (I believe that the whole damn world is going crazy)
It’s something I can't understand, love should be in demand
(I believe that the whole damn world is going crazy)
Make a liar out of me save humanity (I believe that the whole damn world is going crazy)
Until then, I believe, I believe, I believe
(I believe that the whole damn world is going crazy)
