I

(album: Music From The Elder - 1981)

I was so frightened
I almost ran away
I didn't know that I could do
Anything I needed to
And then a bolt of lightning
Hit me on my head
Then I began to see
I just needed to believe in me

And I, I believe in me
And I, I believe in something more
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me
Whoa-ooh and I believe in me
Ooh yes, I believe in something more
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me

Listen!
They said I didn't stand a chance
I wouldn't win no way
But I've got news for you
There's nothing I can't do
Ain't no pretending
Ain't no make-believe
But I've got to be the one
I've got to do what must be done

And I (I) believe in me
Whoa-oh and I (I) believe in something more
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me

Well you know that I (I) believe in me
Ooh yes, and I (I) believe in something more
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me
I believe in me
Yes, I believe in me
Yeah!

I don't need no money
I don't need no fame, no
I just need to believe in me
And I know most definitely
Don't need to get wasted
It only holds me down
I just need a will of my own
And the balls to stand alone

'Cause I (I) believe in me
Whoa-oh I (I) believe in something more
Than you (something more) can understand (something more)
Yes, I believe in me
Whoa-oh, and I believe in me (you feel it too, don't you?)

Well you know that I (I) believe in me
Ooh yes and I (I) believe in something more (Come on)
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me (well, do you really?)
I believe in me (do ya, do ya?)
Yes, I believe in me (I wanna rock and roll all night)
Yes, I believe in me!
