[Intro]
Divide your cultured pearls in haste
I'm looking for to lay to waste
Of all the things I cannot taste
And this not the recent race
[Chorus 1]
They spoke loud
"I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you"
It's what you do
"I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you"
[Chorus 2]
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
[Chorus 3]
Given the choice
Given the heart
Given the tool
Given the word
Given the cheers
[Chorus 1]
They spoke loud
"I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you"
It's what you do
"I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you"
[Chorus 2]
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
[Chorus 3]
Given the choice
Given the heart
Given the tool
Given the word
Given the cheer
Divide your cultured pearls in haste
I'm looking for to lay to waste
Of all the things I cannot taste
And this not the recent race
[Chorus 1]
They spoke loud
"I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you"
It's what you do
"I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you"
[Chorus 2]
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
[Chorus 3]
Given the choice
Given the heart
Given the tool
Given the word
Given the cheers
[Chorus 1]
They spoke loud
"I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you"
It's what you do
"I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you"
[Chorus 2]
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
[Chorus 3]
Given the choice
Given the heart
Given the tool
Given the word
Given the cheer
