Ron Sexsmith - Believe It When I See It Lyrics

Whistling over trestles

And past the graveyard sign

We cast our wayward line

Inside a wishing well



We've just a wish and an empty vessel

A hole to fill with days

On a road where children stray

Then pray there is no hell

And as for heaven, well



If seeing, if seeing is believing

I'll believe it, believe it when I see it

I'll believe it when I see it with my own two eyes



If seeing, if seeing is believing

I'll believe it, believe it when I see it

I'll believe it when I see it with my own two eyes



This ain't no random shuffle

There's reason in these rhymes

A season and a time

In a climate of fear and blood



In the tavern two men did scuffle

Their drunken battle moaned

They groaned like cattle groan

No diamonds here in the rough and as for peace and love



If seeing, if seeing is believing

I'll believe it, believe it when I see it

I'll believe it when I see it with my own two eyes



Oh, and when faced with a difficult decision

Would you listen to your heart or mind?

We're bound to waste all our free will and ambition

If we got no vision and we got no spine



And as for peace of mind



If seeing, if seeing is believing

I'll believe it, believe it when I see it

I'll believe it when I see it with my own two eyes



If seeing, if seeing is believing

I'll believe it, believe it when I see it

I'll believe it when I see it with my own two eyes



See it with my own two eyes
