Lyrics

I watched a juggler on the street.
Juggling three torches to a beat.
People always stopped and stared.
He never dropped anything, as he looked into the flames and said...
Please believe in me.

I watched him every day.
I couldn't see how this would pay.
A few coins into his hat.
Then he'd pack up everything.
And as he left, I thought I heard him say...
Please believe in me.

I followed him home one night just to see what kind of life he led.
That was when I saw...
Three children at his side with tattered clothes and nothing to eat, and nowhere to hide.
He tucked them into bed and his face grew grim as he looked at them.
This is all he said...
Please believe in me.

I decided I'd talk to him.
Where was he going, where had he been?
He looked me right in the eyes.
And to my surprise, this was the only dream he'd ever had.

Can you believe in that?
Can you believe in that?
