YOU STAND BEFORE ME A MAN, FULLY-GROWN
READY TO TAKE ON THE WORLD, HEADING OUT ON YOUR OWN
YOU’RE NOW SO THOUGHTFUL, STRONG, AND WISE
I’M PROUD, BUT I’M ALSO SURPRISED
‘CAUSE I ALWAYS NEVER BELIEVED IN YOU
I NEVER GAVE UP GIVING UP ON YOU
DEEP INSIDE, I ALWAYS KNEW
THAT YOU’D EVENTUALLY NEVER COME THROUGH
NOT FOR A SECOND, DID I THINK
YOU WOULDN’T END UP DEAD OR IN THE CLINK
FOR POSSESSION OR ASSAULT OR WORSE, IT’S TRUE
‘CAUSE I’VE ALWAYS NEVER BELIEVED IN YOU
THE MOMENT YOU WERE BORN
THEY PLACED YOU IN MY ARMS
AND I LOOKED INTO YOUR EYES AND THOUGHT,
“WELL, THAT’S A MURDERER.”
I THOUGHT, AT BEST, YOU MIGHT BARELY MANAGE
AND IT WOULD BE MY JOB TO TRY TO MITIGATE THE DAMAGE
‘CAUSE I’VE ALWAYS NEVER BELIEVED IN YOU
I NEVER ONCE DOUBTED DOUBTING YOU
WITH EVERY OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU BLEW
ALL MY WORST FEARS JUST KEPT COMING TRUE
YOU NEVER WERE A TEACHER’S PET
BUT YOU DID KILL A TEACHER’S PET
WITH EVERY HORRIFYING THING YOU’D SAY OR DO
I CONTINUED TO NEVER BELIEVE IN YOU
SOME PEOPLE ARE DESTINED TO FLY HIGH
OTHERS JUST GET REALLY, REALLY HIGH
SOME PEOPLE REACH FOR THE STARS
SOME JUST REACH FOR THE PANEL IN THE CEILING WHERE THEY KEEP THEIR DRUGS
I HELD OUT NO HOPE FOR SO LONG
BUT NOW, I ADMIT I GOT YOU ALL WRONG
‘CAUSE NOW, I ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN YOU
NO LONGER HAVE A TOTAL LACK OF FAITH IN YOU
APPARENTLY, THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN DO
YOU’RE FULL OF POTENTIAL AND NO ONE KNEW
ALLOW ME TO TIP MY HAT TO YOU, SIR
‘CAUSE YOU’RE NO LONGER A TOTAL LOSER
IT FEELS STRANGE TO SAY IT, BUT IT’S TRUE
I WEIRDLY, SHOCKINGLY, COMPLETELY
BELIEVE IN YOU
I BELIEVE I BELIEVE I BELIEVE IN YOU
YES, I DO
YES, I DO
