Lyrics

Believe it can happen. Dud-ut, dud-ut.
Believe it can happen. Dud-ut, dud-ut.
Believe it can happen. Dud-ut, dud-ut.
Believe, yes, just believe.

When the dreams that you’ve been dreaming
slap you in the face, then you got to
know it can happen.
Believe it can happen.

When the reason you’ve been stopping short evaporates,
then you got to
know it can happen.
Believe it can happen.

Like a cat perched on the moon
with all the world beneath,
bare your claws and just make it happen.
Come make it can happen.

Like a waking bird at dawn that’s
laughing with belief,
sing a little song, make it happen.
Just make it can happen.

Take what you got, lay it out on the line.
If you don’t risk it, it ain’t worth a dime.
How else you gonna make sure
that you won’t just spend and spend and spend
your precious time?

Oh, in the face.
Know it can happen.
Believe it can happen.

Oh, give it chase.
Know it can happen.
Believe it can happen.

Don’t think the road is gonna end.
You got to believe.
It’s just a tiny little bend.
You got to believe.
Life is a dance you gotta learn.
You got to believe.
So take a chance and let yourself
turn and turn and...

Turn, let yourself turn and turn and turn.
Turn, let yourself turn and turn and turn.

Take what you got, lay it out on the line.
If you don’t risk it, it ain’t worth a dime.
How else you gonna make sure
that you’re not just spending and spending
all your precious time?

Dud ut, dud ut. Dud ut, dud ut.
Dud ut, dud ut. Dud ut, dud ut.

Believe it can happen.
Believe it can happen.
Believe it can happen.
Believe, yes, just believe.

When the dreams that you’ve been dreaming
slap you in the face, then you got to
know it can happen.
Believe it can happen.

When the reason you’ve been stopping short evaporates,
then you got to
know it can happen.
Believe it can happen.

Let the dreams that you’ve been dreaming
kiss you in the face.

Liner Notes

This is one of the demos I wrote and recorded for my Hong Kong agent to sell in South Korea. The words were mere place holders, to be comepltely replaced by words in different Asian languages. Still, I had fun writing these. The vocals include harmonies by my son, Anton, who was living with me in Manhattan at the time. He is the lead vocalist on my Audiocracy: Revolution's Son album. I wrote and recorded this in a single day in my Manhattan apartment. I did this for 34 days, writing and recorded 34 songs, until I boarded a flight to Hong Kong with my agent to sell as many as I could. It was an eventful trip.
