Ace Parkhurst - Keep On Believing Lyrics

Sometimes it makes a poor man wonder
Where it was that he went wrong
Try to hang on a little longer
Wake up each day, and say I will be strong

Yeah, I've had my share of problems
But never anything like this
And I've been living on the street now
For so long, just trying to exist

Is it better to be hungry or a fat man
Better to be poor than a thief
Better to have lost than have stolen
From someone who's done no harm to me

One man's free from all his worries
For another, each day is a test
And lady luck, she gets to choose her partners
I wish that I could save some money
For a little place that I could call my home
And maybe someday someone to hold on to
And to her, I'd give both heart and soul

I may be hungry, so I'll never be a fat man
I may be poor, but I'll never be a thief
Though I have few, my treasures can't be stolen
But I have dreams that seem so real to me
Please come along and I'll show you what I see

You can walk in my garden
Out under the stars
And you're welcome to eat
Take all that you need
But stay away from those flowers
That's all that I ask
I'm saving them for my sweet
For the day she returns
Don't ask where she's gone now
I still wonder why
I've done all I could
I've tried and I've cried
I pray she'll come home soon
But it does me no good

Is it better to be hungry or a fat man
Through the eye of the needle I'll squeeze
And dance in the light of my maker
He's coming down just to sign my release
He's coming down just to sign my release

That's why I keep on believing
Keep on believing
Keep on believing
I'll be there in just a minute
I'll be there in just a minute
Keep on believing
Keep on believing
Keep on believing
I just want someone to come home to
I'll be there in just a minute
I'll be there in just a minute
Keep on believing
Keep on believing
Keep on believing
I just want someone to come home to
I'll be there in just a minute
Keep on believing
Keep on believing
