Once Believed

Once Believed

I Once Believed
That The World Was Pure
And For Every Little Frown
A Laugh Was The Cure

I Didn't Believe People Were Bad
Some Just Had A Crack In Their Soul
But With A Little Hope And Love
It Wouldn't Take Much To Repair The Hole

I Believed We All Had An Angel
For Lots Of Protection And Love
And As Ni eve As I Know Now
I Believed In Almighty Above

I Believed Friends Stick Together
Through Thick And Thin
That They Didn't Lie Or Desi-eve
They Saw You Within

I Believed My Body Was My Right
And That No-One Could Just Have Their Way
I Thought I Had The Right To Say No
That No Boy Could Ever Take That Away

I Believed I Was Safe
With A Cunning Male Mate
That Friends Wouldn't Lie
Or Mess With My Fate

I Believed I Was A Good Person
And That People Wouldn't Hurt Me
I Believed I Had The Right To My Soul
And The Right To Be Free

I Believed I Would Always Be Safe
Even In My Neighborhood At Night
I Knew Their Were Creeps Around
But I Always Kept My Friends In Sight

I Believed My Friends Were Good People
That With Them I Shouldn't Be Afraid
I Thought Rapists Were Trench Coats
Not Normal clothes That Were Made

But I Guess I Was Wrong
When I Believed In Things As Such
Like An Angel Would Protect Me
And Friends Meant So Much

I Guess I Shouldn't Believe
That Friends Are Always Pure
And That The Depression I Feel
Will Ever Have A Cure

The Only Thing I Believe Now
Is That Don't Ever Believe
Because For Every Right You Have
Someone Can Always Desi-eve....
