I fell in love with impossible

Shook hands with a man named intangible

Left a trail in the sand, let 'em know that I've been here

I caught a glimpse of the invisible

I threw stones at invincible, it didn't hurt

I never said that it would work

And if I fall doesn't mean that I failed to fly

Failure was only a fail to try 

I put heaven in my right hand

It's too expensive in the sky 

So what do you believe in?

It's never easy to hold on when your faith is gone

Hard times ain't leavin', oh, whoa

So what do you believe in? Oh

All I need in this world (this world, this world)

All I need in this world (this world, this world)

It gets hard, but I'm breathin', yeah

So what do you believe in? Oh, whoa

I asked for answers at the bottom of a bag

I was lost, I didn't mean to make you sad

Know when push comes to shove, I was seein' double

And life turned to rubble in a flash

Every mistake that I've made was a friend of mine

Taught me to come back a hundred times

Every hill I didn't die on is a mountain that I climbed

So what do you believe in?

It's never easy to hold on when your faith is gone

Hard times ain't leavin', whoa, whoa

What do you believe in? Oh

All I need in this world (this world, this world)

All I need in this world (this world, this world)

It gets hard, but I'm breathin', yeah

So what do you believe in? Oh, whoa

I believe in love

I believe in love

I believe in love

I believe in love

So what do you believe in?

It's never easy to hold on when your faith is gone

Hard times ain't leavin' 

What do you believe in?
