Be a Believer Lyrics by Joe South

Don’t It Make You Want to Go Home

0

[Intro]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Verse 1]
When it seems like nobody can understand
And no one will lend you a helpin' hand
When you're lost and you just can't find your way
Tomorrow is another day
So don't fall by the wayside
Let love be your guide
[Chorus]
But you've got to believe (Be a believer)
You've got to believe (Be a believer)
[Verse 2]
When the pavement hurts your tired feet
And you haven't had quite enough to eat
Just remember the world is your supply
And you can make it if you try
But if the world should fall around you
There's a love to surround you
[Chorus]
If you believe (Be a believer)
But you've got to believe (Be a believer)
[Post-Chorus]
(Turn the receiver and be a believer)
My friend
[Bridge]
Hey, don't you know you can break away
From the level of the world negation
Get off of a sinkin' ship
And a dyin' nation
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
At the time when you're sure all hope is gone
The darkest hour is just before the dawn
When a black cloud hangs up over your head
And you wish you were dead
But when the world falls around you
There's a love to surround you
[Chorus]
If you believe (Be a believer)
You've got to believe (Be a believer)
[Post-Chorus]
(Turn the receiver and be a believer)
My friend
[Outro]
(Be a believer) You know you've got to believe
(Be a believer)
