Sometimes I wish this world was an easier place
And when I see those tears falling from your face
I pray, little angel, don't give up on yourself
Don't let nothin' get you down
Just keep on reaching for your higher ground
If you could only see yourself through my eyes
If I could only help you to realize
That there's a light inside of you
I can see it shinin' all around
Just keep on reaching for your higher ground
Cause I believe in you sure as a smile lights up a child's face
I believe in you sure as the stars do shine in velvet space
I believe in you sure as the morning sun kisses the sky
I believe in you, with every beat of my heart hear me testify
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
Yes, I believe in you
I see you tryin' so hard to be who it is you wanna be
Precious angel, don't you know
You're already everything to me
And though sometimes it seems a cold
Hard rain's tryna keep your visions down
Just keep on reaching for your higher ground
Cause I believe in you sure as a smile lights up a child's face
I believe in you sure as the stars do shine in velvet space
I believe in you sure as the morning sun kisses the sky
I believe in you, with every beat of my heart hear me testify
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, I believe in you sure as the autumn leaves
Dance to the ground
I believe in you sure as Heaven
Only knows what spins this world around
I believe in you sure as the spring does melt a winter's snow
I believe in you sure as the light you shine touches my soul
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
Yes, I believe in you
So, please, little angel, don't give up on yourself
Don't let nothin' get you down
Just keep on reaching for your higher ground
