And past the graveyard sign
We've just a wish and an empty vessel
On a road where children stray
Then pray there is no hell
And as for heaven, well...
I'll believe it when I see it
With my own two eyes [x 2]
This ain't no random shuffle
There's reason in these rhymes
In a climate of fear and blood
In the tavern two men did scuffle
Their drunken battle moaned
They groaned like cattle groan
No diamonds here in the rough
And as for peace and love...
I'll believe it when I see it
And when faced with a difficult decision
Would you listen to your heart or mind
We're bound to waste all our free will and ambition
And as for peace of mind...
I'll believe it when I see it
With my own two eyes [x 2]
