Vera Johnson - That's What I Believe lyrics

Some people say you mustn't take a drink Or you'll damn your soul to hell Other people say you have to go to church And maybe Sunday school as well Some folks claim a man is born to sin And a woman's bound to grieve Well, maybe they're right and I'm all wet But here's what I believe I believe in living Enjoy it while you can In kindness and in gentleness Giving your brother a helping hand Work and laugh and love and play We haven't got too long to stay So make the most of every day – That's what I believe! I don't pretend that I can understand Why the Earth is moving through space Neither do I know what made a cell mutate And started off the human race There's just one thing that I know for sure Though to you it may seem odd That we're all part of something great And that's what I call God I believe in living Enjoy it while you can In kindness and in gentleness Giving your brother a helping hand Work and laugh and love and play We haven't got too long to stay So make the most of every day – That's what I believe! Hell's not a place, it's just a state of mind A sickness of the soul Heaven's how you feel when things are going right And you think you're gonna make your goal Good is anything that nurtures life And makes it thrive and bloom And evil's whatever cripples life And threatens it with doom I believe in living Enjoy it while you can In kindness and in gentleness Giving your brother a helping hand Work and laugh and love and play We haven't got too long to stay So make the most of every day – That's what I believe! Each man ought to to the best he can To be himself, not what he is not Even if you think you're rather weak on brains Just make the most of what you've got Just remember that you're not alone You're a part of all mankind And man can achieve tremendous things When he makes up his mind I believe in living Enjoy it while you can In kindness and in gentleness Giving your brother a helping hand Work and laugh and love and play We haven't got too long to stay So make the most of every day – That's what I believe!
