Key of E major

I believe there's no evil out there we didn't have a hand in
E A E B4 B
You believe it's a time for peace and a time for understanding
A E
Some of us believe that we are chosen
A E B
And if God is on our side we'll win the game
A E
And some of us believe that there's a heaven
A E/G# F#m E B4 B
When the trumpets sound and the judges call your name
But let's get it straight?
E A F#m E B4 B
I believe there's just once chance in this world to hear our brothers
E A B E B4 B
You believe there's a better way to listen to each other
A B E
We don't get what the other guy is saying
A E B
We hear the words but we don't understand
A B C#m B
So around the world the same old anger raging
A E/G# F#m E B
And we all cry for shame and the same old tragedy goes down
A B/A A B/A
We believe there's a better way to fight
A B E
There's a way to make our children safe at night
E4 E
Yeah We believe
A B/A A B/A
And we believe there's a war we could be winning
A B C#m B A
But the only way to win it is to give
E
What we need to receive
I believe we need a hero to step boldly from the shadows
You believe there must be someone on the scene that fits the bill
A man or a woman who knows how to say I'm sorry
With courage in his heart to match his creed
A leader who can build a brand new morning
And match the tide of changes
Match the intent with the deed
We believe there's a deed of obligation
To bring reconciliation
To make peace with every nation - in our time
We believe there's not a minute we should be wasting
When the darkness falls it's too late to fix the crime
It's peace that we need
That's what we believe

Every father every mother knows the meaning
A B E
Human treasure that our leaders do forget
A B C#m
And the bullets fly in the face of common reason
E G#m F#m E B
And the pain we give is the legacy in the end we get
We believe there's a song that's worth the singing
It's a song of truth we're bringing
There's a way to share the Earth with everyone
We believe every creature has to be
Has a right to respect and feeling
To live and breathe and flourish in the sun
That's what we believe
