I Believe - Chaka Khan

Ya know nothing is promised us

As we walk over this plain

It can be cruel and dangerous

So what have you to gain

By being so rough?

Haven’t you had enough?

You’ve never done anything

To deserve how you treat yourself

You can’t stop wondering

How you look to everyone else

Because I believe

When you look inside you don’t like what you see

You need to realize that you could be

Anything

In this whole wide world

When you get tired of running from yourself

And running games

When you decide you want to grow

And be yourself again

To all your so-called friends

You’re just a means to their ends

You’re so misunderstood

Because you’re kind they think you’re weak

Try it again, I wish they would

They’re gonna have to come through me

Because I believe

When you look deep inside and don’t like what you see

You need to realize you could be

Anything

I believe

When you look deep inside and don’t like what you see

You need to realize you could be

Anything, anything

In this whole wide world

Don’t you know
