The More I Believe - The Proclaimers

The life that I've been living

From the day I first drew breath

Has been my way of forgetting

I'm on the journey to my death

You make my soul rise up

You make my eyes to see

When I place my faith in you

And I lose my belief in me

The less I believe in me

The more I believe in thee

The less I believe in me

The more I believe in thee

I don't believe in beads or crystals

Instant karma or mother earth

I don't believe that what I think

Makes any difference to what I'm worth

I don't believe in reincarnation

I'm not coming back as a flower

I don't bow my head to kings or priests

'Cos I believe in your higher power

The less I believe in me

The more I believe in thee

The less I believe in me

The more I believe in thee

Oh you've given me a plan

That I don't understand

'Cos I've wandered over half the world

But I've remained an ignorant man

One thing That I know

Is when the final bell tolls

Human love won't be enough

Good deeds can't save my soul

Well I'm not afraid of dying

But I am afraid of you

Because you hear me when I'm lying

And you see the things I do

So the hands go round the clock

As the light goes from the room

And I can't help thinking to myself

I'm going to find out much to soon

The less I believe in me

The more I believe in thee

The less I believe in me

The more I believe in thee

Oh you've given me a plan

That I just don't understand

'Cos I've wandered over half the world

But I've remained a ignorant man

One thing that I know

Is when the final bell tolls

Human love won't be enough

Good deeds can't save my soul

I believe

I believe

I believe

I believe

You make my soul rise up

You make my eyes to see

When I place my faith in you

And I lose my belief in me

The less I believe in me

The more I believe in thee

The less I believe in me

The more I believe in thee
