You Still Believe

You still believe that the world is flat
That you might fall off if you go too far.
That you are smarter than you are
That the sun is not a star.

You still believe in the Easter Bunny
In lands long since barren,
In wrongs that can be forgiven
In songs that cannot be forgotten.

You still believe that you are never wrong
That you have to hide from the rain
That you do not deserve pain
That you will someday rise again.

You still believe that it's not your fault
That you are always right
That you can beat the red light,
That you can stay awake all night.

And that's all right,
As long as you don't get caught.
