Believe

If you don’t know what you’re doing
And you don’t know where to start
And you think you’re on to  something
But you're a stranger to the art
And it all seems so confusing
And it’s tearing you apart
Never crumble from the pressure
Take heart my friend take heart

Tom Edison took a hundred tries
To finally make it work
Even though his friends all told him 
He was acting like a jerk
Now he’s the hero in history
That has brightened up our night
He tried and failed and tried again
And finally got it right

Ask the question of the spirit
Then simply let it go
And wait for the inspiration
Your subconscious mind will flow
It will always come unfailing
And suddenly you’ll know
You’ll see a clear direction
And you’ll know which way to go

Like the Master when he told us
Just ask and you’ll receive
But too many of us find it
Just too hard to believe
So we suffer through our problems
And we don’t know what to do
Remember what he told us
Always have faith in YOU

Anything you can conceive
If you can make your mind believe
With the power you’ll receive
You’ll be able to achieve
