[Verse 1]
I remember when I grew up in the heart
Of liberty city, before the riots tore it apart
62nd Street was oh, so beautiful
But time has ruined it all, it's hardly livable

[Pre-Chorus]
Final decision lies in your hands
How can you treat folks better, who come from another land?
Askin' you these things, I may sound like a fool
But it's just because I still believe...

[Chorus]
(I believe in you) Uncle Sam, you know I do
(I believe in you) you gotta come on though
Like you're supposed to do
(I bеlieve in you) I tell ya – I, I bеlieve in you
(I believe in you)

[Verse 2]
An "I don't mind" is the devil's workshop
And you say this new tenet, killin' has to stop
Oh, but you should know a hungry mob's an angry mob
Why don't you pass the bill, so we can get some kind of job

[Pre-Chorus]
The final decision lies in your hands
Why you treat folks better, who come from another land?
Askin' you these things, I may sound like a fool
But it's just because I still believe...
[Chorus]
(I believe in you) in my heart I do
(I believe in you) but you just gotta come on though
(I believe in you) your people, we all believe in you
(I believe in you)

[Bridge]
You know that I... (I...) I have faith (faith...) in you
God, he sees – oh, he sees and knows all you do
(No matter what you do) so why don't you do
(Faith...) what you know is right to do
Deep down in my heart I, I believe in you

[Outro]
(I believe in you) you got to know that I do
(I believe in you) but you just gotta come on though
(I believe in you) we need your help, you know that we do
(I believe in you) sometimes it makes me feel so sad
(I believe in you) Lord, how can you treat us so bad?
(I believe in you) you know, I grew right on up in this town
(I believe in you) hurts my heart to see you just run on down
(I believe in you) Miami used to be the place to be
(I believe in you) oh, but now it's stricken with the disease of poverty
(I believe in you) Lord have mercy, your people believe, we still believe in you
(I believe in you) come on through, while we still believe in you
(I believe in you) come on though, like you're supposed to do
(I believe in you) God knows I have faith in you
(I believe in you) but you gotta, you gotta, gotta, gotta come on through
(I believe in you) oh yeah, I tell ya – your people believe, we still believe...
