All of your faith in simple shadows
From my hope for something more
How about yourself were caught in
Any reason to be sure
You believe, there's nothing more to add
You believe, it's as simple as that

I don't care about the
Aliens, ghosts, and fairies
All the voices in your head
It's when your "I believe it's true, I know"
I start to get upset

Because you don't know, you don't know
You don't know you just want it all true
No, you don't know, you don't know
You don't know you just have to say you do
You can't really know
You can only believe with a
Confidence born of deceit

The only angels you should
Hear are reason, honesty, equality and love
The only devils you should
Fear are hatred, ignorance
Greed and a world full of people scared dumb

You believe, it's as simple as that
You believe, there's nothing more to add

I don't care about your
Sinners, saints, and saviours
Acting with mysterious ways
It's when your "I believe
It's true, I know!"
I start to feel dismayed

Because you don't know, you don't know
You don't know you just want it all true
No you don't know, you don't know
You don't know you just have to say you do

You can't really know, you can only believe
It really is insane
All this crazy desperate need
For unknowable magic
Strange supernatural power
You're flying through space at a
Million miles an hour
For 4 billion years, the sun keeps coming up
It's all too wonderful for words but
For you it's not enough
You should step out of the shadows
Yeah and step into the light
