Believe 

Do you believe..... 
Or is it all an illusion? 
It's so hard to figure out 
in all this confusion 

Is it a way to control 
the world and its masses? 
is it the word coming down from 
the upper classes? 

Is it a comfort thing 
or are you reaching out for something? 
Maybe when you look they 
are both the same thing? 

So many questions that 
are left unanswered. 
So many half suggestions, 
Tell me who will answer all 
these pressing questions? 

Who is qualified enough to say 
Books, preachers or your own mind. 
Does it come from our deepest fears 
Is it something created by mankind 

Is there something out there 
that needs to be explored 
Is there something there 
that we just can't ignore 
Maybe it's the one thing that 
we've all been waiting for 

Is it the never ending song 
that has been left unsung? 
or are we just remembering 
what we were told when 
In days when we were young? 

The mind plays tricks on you 
in your hour of need 
you look for help 
for the things in life 
you hope that will succeed 
but deep in your heart 
you know there nothing in this life 
that is ever guaranteed 

When you mind is full 
of all this congestion, 
To believe or not to believe 
that is the question 
Look deep into your heart 
and then you may find your 
right direction.
