“Believe”

Sat at my window
counting the leaves
softly falling downwards
to the city street
where nobody sees

Watching a man
with his hand on his face
makin his way through the morning crush
of that human race
forgotten his keys

Am i the only crazy one
sitting in neutral
tasting the sun
chasing a dream?

If you believe in life on Mars
fairies in the garden
flying cars
you can have my disease
cause I dont care too much for busy
somebody else’s problem a pity
if they wouldn’t believe

We have to believe theres a thought worth chasing
outside the known
not inward facing
about to conceive

take it or leave it
before its begun
nurture a feeling from heaven as one
believing in love.

Im not a preacher
or believe in God
slam my foot in your doorway loud
where the others trod
Dont get down on your knees

Give me your love
for my collection plate
show me a dream that is open and great
It is all that I need

If you believe in life on Mars
fairies in the garden
flying cars
you can have my disease
cause I dont care too much for busy
somebody else’s problems a pity
if they couldn’t believe.

We have to believe theres a thought worth chasing
outside the known
not inward facing
about to conceive

take it or leave it
before its begun,
nurture a feeling from heaven as one
believing in love.

believing in love -
is always enough -
