Lyrics

For John Lennon, Larry Norman, and Bono

Well I don’t believe in easy peace or in the pure devout.
I don’t believe we can believe in anything without a doubt.
I don’t believe the end of justice is the end of suffering
But what a lot a little more justice could bring.

And I don’t believe we disagree, I don’t believe we’re two.
I don’t believe we have a choice – stranger, I believe in you.
I believe when we believe it’s like we’re healing something
And what a lot a little more healing could bring.

So may we believe, may we believe.
May we believe, if just one thing:
In what a lot a little more justice could bring,
In what a lot a little more justice could bring.

And I don’t believe in isms and I can’t believe the news.
I can’t believe this homeless age but what’s a citizen to do?
I believe if we believe we stand a chance to make it true
And what a lot a little more hard truth could do.

And may we believe, may we believe.
May we believe, if just one thing:
In what a lot a little more justice could bring,
In what a lot a little more justice could bring.

Well, I don’t believe in Lennon, Beatles, Bono, or U2;
I don’t believe in heroes ‘cause they’d say the same thing, too.
But I believe, if just one thing:
It’s what a lot a little more justice could bring,
It’s what a lot a little more justice could bring.

Yes, what a lot a little more justice could bring!
Yes, what a lot a little more justice could bring!

So let’s not believe in easy peace or easy irony.
Let’s not believe we’re standing lonely at the end of History.
We’ll believe we’re just beginning and lest we could not sing,
What a lot a little more justice could bring,
Yes, what a lot a little more justice could bring.

And may we believe, may we believe.
May we believe, if just one thing:
In what a lot a little more justice could bring,
In what a lot a little more justice could bring,
in what a lot a little more justice could bring!
