Believe In Humanity Lyrics - Carole King

If you read the papers you may see 

History in the making 

You'll read what they say life is all about 

They say it's there for the taking 

Yeah, but you should really check it out 

If you want to know what's shaking 

But don't tell me about the things you've heard 

Maybe I'm wrong, but I want to believe in humanity

I know it's often true - sad to say 

We have been unkind to one another 

Tell me how many times has the golden rule 

Been applied by man to his brother 

I believe if I really looked at what's going on 

I would lose faith I never could recover 

So don't tell me about the things you've heard 

Maybe I'm wrong, but I want to believe in humanity.

Maybe I'm living with my head in the sand. 

I just want to see people giving. 

I want to believe in my fellow man. 

Yes, I want to believe.
