Text: Proclaimers. The More I Believe.

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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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 too soon

Oh, You've given me a plan
That I don't understand
'Cause 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
