Casual Rebels - Sheila Believes in Humankind Lyrics

She goes to work and she pours her big heart into everything that she ever does
She knows the world is not built on fairness
She knows this as well as anyone does, but

Sheila has faith in the future
Sheila believes in humankind
She takes it as read that right now things aren't quite right
Sheila believes in humankind

She doesn't let those who don't respect her get her down or take advantage of her
She truly believes the day will soon come when machismo is an obsolete word
She feels that men who don't respect her gender are becoming fewer farther between
They may rule right now, may take advantage but they're becoming fewer, farther between

Sheila has faith in the future
Sheila believes in humankind
She takes it as read that right now things aren't quite right
Sheila believes in humankind

"If it's two steps forward and only one step back,"
Is the mantra she repeats to herself, "One day we'll get there
We'll all feel equal
Though I may not live to see it myself"
She goes to clubs and dances her heart out
For a time she leaves the moment behind and in the moment
She's on the dance floor she knows this mess may still turn out just fine

Sheila has faith in the future
Sheila believes in humankind
She takes it as read that right now things aren't quite there
Sheila believes in humankind
