Take it from a well-known man You can count on the fine performances And hear them sayin, "It's never twice the same, baby." Come around the bend once more And believe in the son's abilities I know he's watching And always listening to me The seeds come alive with the things they can grow He may be a talented man But I told you, "Believe in the things that you know." Baby, I trust that you can, trust you can. Come across a lifeless bore And I wonder if he knows anything I feel like laughing But I don't have to say nothing Step in through a well-shut door And come in the brave new scenery They move like switches On all the rusted old machinery The seeds come alive and continue to grow. He may be a talented man But I told you, "Believe in the things that you know." Baby, I trust that you can, trust you can
