things never happen like i wish they could
only in my dreams
i've never been willing to give up my heart
or let myself believe
i have been waiting all of my life
just for tonight
this time i'm hoping, holding out for you
to let me see the light

so make me a believer for once in my life
right here and now touch me somehow
let it be tonight
it's all on the line, i'm down on my knees
i don't know how but i'm ready to see
clear every shadow of doubt in my mind
cuz i want to believe

i've been sitting here
staring at the rain all alone tonight
something about you is making me smile
with tears in my eyes
maybe you noticed, maybe you can tell
what's happening to me, yeah
when you say my name
touch my heart again
it's making me believe

so make me a believer for once in my life
right here and now touch me somehow
let it be tonight
it's all on the line, i'm down on my knees
i don't know how but i'm ready to see
clear every shadow of doubt in my mind
cuz i want to believe

why can't this be
one of the times
when i can see
with open eyes
shine your light
i'll never forget for the rest of my life

so make me a believer for once in my life
right here and now touch me somehow
let it be tonight
it's all on the line, i'm down on my knees
i don't know how but i'm ready to see
clear every shadow of doubt in my mind
cuz i want to believe
