Most People Are Good

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 under neon or 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

I believe them streets of gold
Are worth the work
But I'd 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 under neon or 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

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 under neon or 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

I believe most people are good
I believe most people are good
