Believe (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

I see it all around us
In every single color
And every dimension
Crowns the reinvention
And if it is black, then it's white
And when it is dark, then it's light
So fill in all the spaces
With imaginary places

It's so frustrating when no one else sees everything you see
So for now it is just an illusion, confusion
Unless you're someone who believes

When you look tell me what do you see?

Just a dog in a park

Is it real, is it fiction?
Only make believe
You act like you really don't care

Look with you eyes

But look with your eyes, it's a great Russian bear
And he's dancing and prancing and bowing politely
He plays to full houses, once daily twice nightly
Prefix "ordinary" with "extra" you'll see
Believe, believe, believe

I don't need rose-tinted spectacles (A dog, a rock, a bench, a bone)
Just to see the fundamentals (A twig, a stick, a can, a stone)
I only see the bright lights (A cloudy sky)
The sunset and the sunrise
Don't lie
And if it is weak
Then it's strong
It's not strong
And just when it's right
Then it's wrong
It's not wrong
And everything my eyes see (And everything my eyes see)
It's nothing like it should be (Is only like it should be)
It's so frustrating when no one else sees everything you see
So, for now it is just an illusion, confusion
Unless you're someone who believes

When you look tell me what do you see?
(You can believe)
Is it real, is it fiction, only make believe
You may think we're safe on the path
(You must believe)
But the grass is the water that's rising too fast
And now Kensington park is the biggest lagoon
And this bench is a rock
And we're all marooned here
Hear the mermaids sing their beautiful song

When you look tell me what do you see
(You can believe)
Is it real or a mystery, scientifically?
It's more than a bench in a park
You must believe
Look again, it's a rocket that's headed for Mars
On a mission to search for new life
When we'll be back who knows 'cause it's really a long flight
Turn the whole world upside down and you'll see
Believe, believe, believe

Just imagination
And creative speculation
Our life's calling
Was never meant to be boring
Believe believe
Believe believe
Believe believe
Believe believe
Believe believe
Believe believe
Believe!
