Story Behind The Song

Lynn Carey Saylor was profoundly affected by the Los Angeles riots of 1992 and this song was written as her response to those terrible events.

Song Description

Lynn delivers a powerful message about racial tolerance via a conversational rather than lecturing tone & lyric. On guitar and BG vocals is the instantly recognizable presence of legendary guitarist Brian May of the iconic British rock group, Queen.

Lyrics

"IF WE BELIEVE (FEATURING BRIAN MAY OF QUEEN)"

I BELIEVE IT'S IN EACH ONE OF US TO SEE
THE GOOD THAT'S IN ANOTHER
BLIND TO THEIR SKIN COLOR
CAN'T YOU SEE THERE'S JUST TWO KINDS OF SOULS AROUND
THE ONE'S WHO HATE
AND THE ONES WHO LOVE EACH OTHER
IT'S OUR FATE, FREE WILL TO CHOOSE AN ANSWER
WHY CAN'T WE GET ALONG TOGETHER?
IT'S NOT SO HARD TO SEE THAT...

(Chorus)
IF WE BELIEVE
WE'RE NOT ALL THE SAME
THERE'S A HOLE IN OUR HEARTS
AND NOTHING AT ALL TO GAIN
BUT IF WE BELIEVE
WE'RE ONLY DAUGHTERS AND SONS
GOD'S WILL IS DONE

I BELIEVE IT'S WRONG TO JUDGE A BOOK UPON
THE PICTURE OF ITS COVER
YOU NEED WHAT IS UNDER
I HAVE HEARD SOME PEOPLE SAY
WE'RE NOT THE SAME AS EACH OTHER
BUT WE BLEED THE SAME COLOR
IT GROWS LATE, WE NEED A SANE SOLUTION
TO VIOLENCE, HATE AND ALL THE PERSECUTION
IT'S NOT SO HARD TO SEE THAT...

(Chorus)
IF WE BELIEVE
WE'RE NOT ALL THE SAME
THERE'S A HOLE IN OUR HEARTS
AND NOTHING AT ALL TO GAIN
BUT IF WE BELIEVE
WE'RE ONLY DAUGHTERS AND SONS
GOD'S WILL IS DONE

(Bridge)
WHY DON'T WE KNOW THERE IS SO MUCH TO LOSE
GET ON THE STREETS AND SPREAD THE NEWS...

(BRIAN MAY GUITAR SOLO)

IF WE BELIEVE
WE'RE NOT ALL THE SAME
THERE'S A HOLE IN OUR HEARTS
AND NOTHING AT ALL TO GAIN
BUT IF WE BELIEVE
WE'RE ONLY DAUGHTERS AND SONS
GOD'S WILL IS DONE
