Lyrics Power to believe The Dream Academy

Power to believe


He was born and raised in privilege
Took everything it gave
Had financial help from his father
From the cradle to the grave
And this enabled him to believe in the things
he did try hard, God forbid
he should give in to pointless wandering
but he would wander from time to time
Seeking guidance from the Holy
he tried to find the truth
Among the radical revolutionaries
Who canonized his youth
And gathering strength from the feeling that
To believe could undoubtedly change the world
Turned his back on education
And listened to the world
So with little or no formal education
he taught himself to work
Would often steal the pain it took
To rise up from the dirt
And out of desperation would
Disturb the millionaires
Whose patronage had helped the powerRise up from thin air,
Then he sunk back into despair
Take me out in another world
Keep me warm and dry
Where other men are worrying
And other men must die
And when the lies are spoken
Give indurance to the weak
And when the heart of man is broken
Give the power to believe

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics POWER TO BELIEVE of THE DREAM ACADEMY is also present in the album The morning lasted all day: a retrospective (2014)

Biografia

The Dream Academy was a British musical group formed in London in 1983 and disbanded in 1991. The group, composed of Nick Chappel (vocals), Gilbert Gabriel (keyboards) and Andy Gangadeen (drums), achieved international success with the single "Life in a Northern Town", released in 1985. The song, a nostalgic anthem to life in Northern England, became a classic of the era and helped define the synth-pop aesthetic of the 1980s. The Dream Academy released two studio albums: "The Dream Academy" (1985) and "Blindfold" (1987). Both albums achieved moderate commercial success, but failed to reach the heights of their first single. After the release of "Blindfold", the group disbanded. Although they had a relatively short career, The Dream Academy left an indelible mark on the history of 1980s pop music.
