"I Believe In People" lyrics - TOMMY JAMES

TOMMY JAMES
"I Believe In People"
(Tommy James / Bob King)

I wake up in the morning, go out to face the day
I say, "Brother, how you doin'?" in my plain and simple way.
But if I don't get an answer, I just turn my head and smile
'Cause I believe in people. Lord, that makes it all worthwhile.

[Chorus:]
I believe, I believe, I believe in people.
I believe, I believe, I believe in people.
As I walk down the street, Lord, with my hair down in my eyes,
You know, folks, they always stare at me, but it's only my disguise.
Underneath these clothes I wear, my soul is so revived
'Cause I believe in people and I'm so glad to be alive.

[Chorus]

I believe in people and I'm so glad to be alive.

[Chorus and fade]
