most people are good

i believe kids oughta stay kids as long as they can

turn off the screen

go climb a tree

get dirt on their hands

i believe we gotta forgive and make amends

cause nobody gets a second chance to make new old friends

i believe in working hard for what you've got

even if it don't add up to a hell of a lot

i believe most people are good

and most mama's oughta qualify for sainthood

i believe most friday nights look better under neon or stadium lights

i believe you love who you love

ain't nothing you should ever be ashamed of

i believe this world ain't half as bad as it looks

i believe most people are good

i believe them streets of gold are worth the work

but i'd still wanna go even if they were paved in dirt

i believe that youth is spent well on the young

'cause wisdom in your teens would be a lot less fun

i believe if you just go by the nightly news

your faith in all mankind would be the first thing you lose

i believe most people are good

and most mama's oughta qualify for sainthood

i believe most friday nights look better under neon or stadium lights

i believe you love who you love

ain't nothing you should ever be ashamed of

i believe this world ain't half as bad as it looks

i believe most people are good

i believe that days go slow and years go fast

and every breath's a gift

the first one to the last

i believe most people are good

and most mama's oughta qualify for sainthood

i believe most friday nights look better under neon or stadium lights

i believe you love who you love

ain't nothing you should ever be ashamed of

i believe this world ain't half as bad as it looks

i believe most people are good

i believe most people are good

i believe most people are good
