The man spoke to the albatross What a funny thing you are The man spoke to the albatross Why must you fly so far Today the waves are no ones slaves Tomorrow's waves may be Do you believe in me? The man spoke to the nightingale Your songs to wild and free The man spoke to the nightingale Ah but sing a song for me Once my skies could fill your eyes With rain and sympathy Do you believe in me? The man spoke to the whitest dove How can I gain release The man then killed the whitest dove And justly kept the peace For I must cry and surely die To keep the people free Do you believe in me? Do you believe in me? Do you believe in me?
