Believe (Lyrics) - Lenny Kravitz
I am you and me
Why’s that such a mystery ?
If you want it you got to believe
Who are we ?
We’re who we are
Riding on this great big star
We’ve got to stand up if we’re gonna be free yeah
If you want it you got to believe
Believe in yourself
‘Cause it’s all just a game
We just want to be loved
The Son of God is in your face
Offering us eternal grace
If you want it you’ve got to believe
‘Cause being free is a state of mind
We’ll one day leave this all behind
Just put your faith in God
And one day you’ll see it
If you want it you got it
You just got to believe
Believe in yourself
‘Cause it’s all just a game
We just want to be loved
The future’s in our present hands
Let’s reach right in
Let’s understand
If you want it you’ve got to believe yeah
If you want it you got it
You just got to believe
Believe in yourself yeah
‘Cause it’s all just a game
We just want to be loved
Singer - Lenny Kravitz - Biography
Birthdate: May 26, 1964
Lenny Kravitz is a sensitive rocker who's spent most of his career singing the message of love.Lenny's taken a lot of slaggin' from critics over the years being called a wannabe Led Zepplin, Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix but he hasn't let it stand in his way.
The retro rocker was born in 1964 in Brooklyn, NY to parents Sy Kravitz and the late actress Roxie Roker. Roxie was best known for her character on The Jeffersons.
Lenny Kravitz didn't realize his parents were different races - his father White and his mother Black, until kids started talking about it at school.
Lenny Kravitz had a thing for music right away and by age 10 had dragged his parents to see Sarah Vaughan, James Brown, Duke Ellington and the Jackson 5. In 1974 the family moved to LA and Lenny snagged a spot in the California Boys Choir. He also started teaching himself to play the guitar, piano, bass and the drums. A few years later LennyKravitz was taking the music program at Beverly Hills High School and gave himself the name Romeo Blue.
Lenny Kravitz met and fell in love with The Cosby Show's Lisa Bonet. The couple lived together and married in 1987 and had a child, daughter Zoe, a year later. In 1989 Lenny released his first album Let Love Rule and had two hits with the songs Let Love Rule and Mr. Cab Driver.
Back then, it seemed like his music career was on the way up as his marriage was on the way down. Lisa and Lenny split in 1991 and divorced in 1993. The divorce affected Lenny Kravitz for many years to come and many of his songs reflect that. All the sorrow came out on his second album, Mama Said in 1991 and he added a couple more hits to his name with Mama Said (featuring a guitar solo by Gun 'n Roses' Slash) and It Ain't Over Til It's Over.
Lenny Kravitz rocked the planet with his third CD Are You Gonna Go My Way and the single of the same name became one of his biggest songs to date. After its release the critics finally started to ease up. Aside from singing and playing instruments, Lenny is also a talented writer, producer and arranger who's produced most of his own material and has also worked with other artists likeMadonna.Lenny Kravitz wrote and produced her hit Justify My Love and even sings background vocals on the song.
In 1998 Lenny Kravitz released his fifth album titled 5 with the mega hit Fly Away. He also wrote a song in honor of his mom called Thinking of You. Shortly after its release Lenny cut off his trademark dreads. It was a symbolic experience marking a new beginning. Lenny Kravitz also did a remake of The Guess Who's gritty American Woman which was included on the Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me soundtrack , and was also included on later released versions of 5.
In 2001, Lenny Kravitz put out a hits package which included one new song, Again. For Lenny the album doesn't mark the end of his career - it's more like a fresh start. "I'm not about to stop making music," says Lenny Kravitz. "In fact, I feel like I'm at the beginning of my career."
