Tell me how many times has the golden rule
Maybe I'm wrong but I want to believe in humanity
If you read the papers you may see
Well I believe if I really looked at what's going on
Maybe I'm living with my head in the sand
I know it's often true, sad to say
Been applied by man to his brother
I want to believe in my fellow man
But don't tell me 'bout the things you've heard
Maybe I'm wrong but I want to believe in humanity
I would lose faith I never could recover
History in the making
You'll read what they say life is all about
Yea, you should really check it out
Songwriter: Carole King
Yes, I want to believe
They say it's there for the taking
If you want to know what's shaking
So don't tell me 'bout the things you've heard
I just want to see people giving
We have been unkind to one another
