verse 1 I believe kids oughta stay kids as long as they can Turn off the screen, go climb a tree, get dirt on their hands I believe we gotta forgive and make amends Cause nobody gets a second chance to make new old friends I believe in working hard for what you've got Even if it don't add up to a hell of a lot I believe most people are good And most Mama's oughta qualify for sainthood I believe most Friday nights look better underneath neon stadium lights I believe you love who you love Ain't nothing you should ever be ashamed of I believe this world ain't half as bad as it looks I believe most people are good verse 2 I believe streets of gold are worth the work But I still wanna go even if they were paved in dirt I believe that youth is spent well on the young Cause wisdom in your teens would be a lot less fun I believe if you just go by the nightly news Your faith in all mankind would be the first thing you lose I believe most people are good And most Mama's oughta qualify for sainthood I believe most Friday nights look better underneath neon stadium lights I believe you love who you love Ain't nothing you should ever be ashamed of I believe this world ain't half as bad as it looks I believe most people are good Bridge I believe that days go slow and years go fast And every breath's a gift, the first one to the last I believe most people are good And most Mama's oughta qualify for sainthood I believe most Friday nights look better underneath neon stadium lights I believe you love who you love Ain't nothing you should ever be ashamed of I believe this world ain't half as bad as it looks I believe most people are good Outro I believe most people are good I believe most people are good
