I Believe (My Time Ain't Long)

Walk blindly to the light and reach out for his hand.
Don't ask any question and don't try to understand.
Open up your mind and then open up your heart,
and you will see that you and me aren't far apart.

'Cause I believe that love is the answer.
I believe that love will find a way.

Violence has spread world wide
and there's fam'lies on the street.
We sell drugs to children now.
Oh, why can't we just see
that all we do is eliminate our future
with the things we do today?
Money is our incentive now, so that makes it okay.

But I believe that love is the answer.
I believe that love will find a way.
I believe that love is the answer.
I believe that love will find a way.

I've been seeing Lisa now for a little over a year.
She says she'd never been so happy,
but Lisa lives in fear that one day
daddy's gonna find out she's in love
with a nigger from the streets.
Oh, how he would lose it then,
but she's still here with me.
'Cause she believes that love will see it through
and they'll understand.
He'll see me as a person and not just a black man.

'Cause I believe that love is the answer.
I believe that love will find a way.
I believe, I believe, I believe,
I believe that love is the answer.
I believe that love will find a way.
Love will find a way.
Love will find a way.
Love will find a way.

love will find a way.
Love will find a way.
Love will find a way.
Love will find a way.

love will find a way.
Love will find a way.
Love will find a way.
Love will find a way.
