  • Ooh
    Ooh
    Bring it up as we go along
    Mm
    Oh

    I've been in a cave for forty days
    Only a spark to light my way
    I wanna give out, I wanna give in
    This is our crime
    This is our sin

    But I still believe, I still believe
    Through the pain and through the grief
    Through the lives, through the storms
    Through the cries and through the wars

    Oh, I still believe
    Lie, lie, lie
    Lie, lie, lie
    Ooh

    I'm flat on my back out at sea
    Hopin' these waves don't cover me
    I'm turned and tossed upon the waves
    When the darkness comes I feel the grave

    But I still believe, I still believe
    Through the cold and through the heat
    Through the rain and through the tears
    Through the crowds and through the cheers

    Oh, I still believe
    Lie, lie, lie
    Oh-oh

    I'll march this road, I'll climb this hill
    Up on my knees if I have to
    I'll take my place up on this stage
    I'll wait 'til the end of time for you like everybody else
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh yeah

    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh-ooh

    I'm out on my own walkin' the streets
    I look at the faces that I meet
    I feel like I, like I want to go home
    What do I feel?
    What do I know?

    But I still believe, I still believe
    Through the shame and through the grief
    Through the heartache, through the tears
    Through the waiting, through the years

    For people like us in places like this
    We need all the hope that we can get

    Oh, I still believe
    Lie, lie, lie
    Oh, yeah yeah
    Lie, lie, lie Writer/s: James Paul Goodwin, Michael Been
