Keep telling myself
That people are good
Whisper it under my breath
So I don't forget

Keep fooling myself
That they do all they can
Sometimes they simply slip up
But it's not what they meant

Heaven help me
Heaven help me
Heaven help us
Heaven help us

Keep reminding myself
That people are good
And when they do bad things
They're just hurting inside

Keep fooling myself
That everyone cares
And they're all full of love
It's just their patience gets tried

Heaven help me
Heaven help me
Heaven help us
Heaven help us

Everything will be alright in time
It will be fine

'Cause people are good
Whisper it under your breath
People are good
Keep fooling yourself

People are good
Whisper it under your breath
People are good
Keep fooling yourself

People are good
Whisper it under your breath
People are good
Keep fooling yourself

People are good
Whisper it under your breath
People are good
Keep fooling yourself

(Keep fooling yourself...)
