Carole King - Believe in Humanity lyrics

If you read the papers you may see

History in the making

You'll read what they say life is all about

They say it's there for the taking

Yeah, but you should really check it out

If you want to know what's shaking

But don't tell me about the things you've heard

Maybe I'm wrong, but I want to believe in humanity

I know it's often true - sad to say

We have been unkind to one another

Tell me how many times has the golden rule

Been applied by man to his brother

I believe if I really looked at what's going on

I would lose faith I never could recover

So don't tell me about the things you've heard

Maybe I'm wrong, but I want to believe in humanity.

Maybe I'm living with my head in the sand

I just want to see people giving

I want to believe in my fellow man

Yes, I want to believe
