Love Makes You Believe [Lawrence Gowan]

Love Makes You Believe
Written by Lawrence Gowan
Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan

Down desperate roads
Sometimes you run for your life
Only to find the answer
Suddenly slips out of sight
Yeah, you were fooled
I guess you should take the blame
Nothing can last forever
Those are the rules of the game

Now I'm calling, hear me calling out to you

In the face of darkness
Never hopeless
Love makes you believe
Through the disillusion
And confusion
Love makes you believe

Don't hate the world
It only is what it is
Half ot it's run by losers
They leave the rest to the kids
So cover up my precious child
You're gonna feel the cold a while
So much is fake
What can you do
Just keep the faith
In one thing that will come through

In the face of darkness
Never hopeless
Love makes you believe
Through the disillusion
And confusion
Love makes you believe
When you say it's over
You discover
Love makes you believe
Don't deny the wonder
Any longer
Love makes you believe

Interpretation

Life may seem desperate, dark, and dangerous.  You thought you had things figured out, but nothing lasts forever.  The world can be cruel, run by losers and kids, but don't hate it.  Don't lose hope and give in to disillusion and confusion. Instead put your faith in love, and you will discover that it gives you hope and makes you believe.
