Alexander Bentley - Something to Believe In lyrics

Everyone wants something they can believe in Something that gives them hope To distract their mind from the pain and misery That life inevitably brings Everyone wants something they can believe in Like a god — a bearded deity flying in the sky Everyone wants something they can believe in Like world peace and joy for every child Everyone wants something they can believe in Like a shiny new product That's overhyped and never quite delivers On the promise of what is advertised Everyone wants something they can believe in Like love ever after A true love that makes you feel weightless And hopeful that you don't die alone Everyone wants something they can believe in Even if that something is momentary And brings only a little satisfaction What do you believe in? Is it even real?
