(I HOPE...)
this is the bottom line
I believe in you
and I want you to be happy
I want you to be true
to your heart
and yourself
please be true to you
I want you to know peace
and not need to hide
I want you to find truth
your truth inside
in your heart
in yourself
please be true to you
you don't have to compromise all your ideals
you don't have to break to social pressures
you know how such repression really feels
and what it leads to - in drastic measures
you've watched others die inside and fade away
and you almost lost yourself in the lies
but you showed me your heart knows how to say
the truth that lives behind your frightened eyes
the bottom line is
I believe in you
and I want you to be happy
no matter what you want
I want to help you get it
this is your friend, remember me?
I want you to know peace
and not have to hide
I want you to live truth
your truth inside
for nothing else is real
you know how it feels
remember all the tears we've cried?
whatever you're afraid of won't go away
by burying it as if it isn't there
you showed me your heart knows how to say
how much you want to love and show you care
we don't have to give into the fear
we can let true love win
please listen, please hear...
the bottom line is
I believe in you
and I want you to be happy
I want you to be true
to your heart
and yourself
please be true to you
I want you to know peace
and not need to hide
I want you to find truth
your truth inside
in your heart
in yourself
please be true to you
whatever you want
I want that for you
whatever you want
I want to help you
whatever you want
please let it be true
to your heart
to yourself
please be true to you
the bottom line is
I believe in you
The Bottom Line
