  • I believe kids oughta stay kids as long as they can
    Turn off the screen, go climb a tree, get dirt on their hands
    I believe we gotta forgive and make amends
    'Cause nobody gets a second chance to make new old friends
    I believe in working hard for what you've got
    Even if it don't add up to a hell of a lot

    I believe most people are good
    And most mamas oughta qualify for sainthood
    I believe most Friday nights look better under neon or stadium lights
    I believe you love who you love
    Ain't nothing you should ever be ashamed of
    I believe this world ain't half as bad as it looks
    I believe most people are good

    I believe them streets of gold are worth the work
    But I still wanna go even if they were paved in dirt
    I believe that youth is spent well on the young
    'Cause wisdom in your teens would be a lot less fun
    I believe if you just go by the nightly news
    Your faith in all mankind would be the first thing you lose

    I believe most people are good
    And most mamas oughta qualify for sainthood
    I believe most Friday nights look better under neon or stadium lights
    I believe you love who you love
    Ain't nothing you should ever be ashamed of
    I believe this world ain't half as bad as it looks
    I believe most people are good

    I believe that days go slow and years go fast
    And every breath's a gift, the first one to the last

    I believe most people are good
    And most mamas oughta qualify for sainthood
    I believe most Friday nights look better under neon or stadium lights
    I believe you love who you love
    Ain't nothing you should ever be ashamed of
    I believe this world ain't half as bad as it looks
    I believe most people are good

    I believe most people are good

  • Susan from Illinois“ I believe most people are good.” Great lyric. If you believe most people are good, you are probably going to find good things in others and the world. If you believe most people are not good, you will probably find the not so nice side of people and the world.
    Also the lines “ I believe you love who you love
    Ain’t nothing you should ever be ashamed of.” are very powerful.
