Addendum Lyrics

Addendum:

A small child asks me "What is it that you believe?"

Him with a head full of magic and angels that watch him while he sleeps

And tooth fairies and Father Christmas and Monsters in the deep

And Shaunie and Grandpa Mark in Heaven above

So I reach for the thinkers I've read over time

For Marx and Jung and Wittgenstein

For Dickens and Dawkins and Hitchens and James

I drank 'em down like fine red wine

But when Bibles and textbooks and scholarly words

Are finally put away

As I gaze down into those innocent eyes

Just this single truth remains…

I believe in Love

I believe in Love

I believe in Love

And to all of you cynics doubters and fools

Wise men and prophets and government mules

Believers and Heretics Teachers and Thieves

I offer this one relief

To science and scholars that can't be denied

To every religion pulling hope from the sky

To the paupers and Princes and beggars and Kings

I have but one belief

I believe in love

I believe in Love

I believe in Love
