Lyrics
Vs. 1
ANGEL GIRL, HOPELESS AND LOST, YOU LOOK AT ME WITH AN EMPTY STARE
THE WAY YOU TREAT YOURSELF TELLS ME YOU DON'T CARE
LIKE YOU'VE FIN'LLY HAD ENOUGH AND GIVEN UP
I READ YOUR LATEST EMAIL WHERE YOU DREAM OF ENDLESS SLEEP
ESCAPING FROM A WORLD THAT SEEMS SO BLEAK
NO!
Chorus:
YOU GOTTA BELIEVE YOUR LIFE IS SURE TO CHANGE
BELIEVE YOUR FIGHT WILL TURN THE TIDE IF YOU CAN SURVIVE
YOU'LL FIND HAPPINESS, AND FRIENDS TO SHARE YOUR DAYS
IF YOU CAN BELIEVE, BELIEVE IN LIFE
Vs. 2
ANGEL GIRL, HELPLESS I WATCH YOU DROWN YOUR DAYS IN TEARS AND SORROW
OH, PROMISE YOU WON'T DIE LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW
PLEASE YOU DON'T MAKE A BIG MISTAKE YOU CAN'T ERASE (NO, NO)
I'M ASKING YOU TO TRUST ME, LET ME REACH THROUGH YOUR DESPAIR
LET'S CLEAR THE MURKY HAZE THAT KEEPS YOU THERE
Chorus:
YOU GOTTA BELIEVE YOUR LIFE IS SURE TO CHANGE
BELIEVE YOUR FIGHT WILL TURN THE TIDE IF YOU CAN SURVIVE
YOU'LL FIND HAPPINESS, AND FRIENDS TO SHARE YOUR DAYS
IF YOU CAN BELIEVE, BELIEVE IN LIFE
Bridge:
RIGHT NOW YOU CAN'T SEE YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL, WITH SO MUCH TO GIVE
BUT SOMEDAY YOU'LL KNOW YOU'RE WONDERFUL, SO CHOOSE TO LIVE!
Chorus:
YOU GOTTA BELIEVE YOUR LIFE IS SURE TO CHANGE
BELIEVE YOUR FIGHT WILL TURN THE TIDE IF YOU CAN SURVIVE
YOU'LL FIND HAPPINESS, AND FRIENDS TO SHARE YOUR DAYS
IF YOU CAN BELIEVE, BELIEVE IN LIFE
Outro:
