My 3rd grade ds had the following hand out in his backpack:

I'm A Believer

I thought success was only true in fairy tales,
Meant for someone else, but not for me.
Life was out to get me.
That's the way it seemed,
Disappointment haunted all my dreams!

Then I found a way.
Now I'm a believer!
Have success every day.
No doubt in my mind...
I CAN DO IT!
Ooh-ooh...
I'm a believer! I'm an achiever!
'Cause I try!

I thought my life was more or less what it could be,
It seems my attitude got in the way!
Didn't think I could do it,
Was aftaid to try!
Then discovered I could really fly!

'Cause I found a way,
Now I'm a believer!
Have success every day,
No doubt in my mind...
I CAN DO IT!
Ooh-ooh...
I'm a believer! I'm an achiever!
'Cause I try!

I once thought success was only true in fairy tales,
Meant for someone else, but not for me.
Life's not out to get me,
And I just want to scream...
"I can do ANYTHING I dream!"

'Cause I found a way,
Now I'm a believer!
Have success every day,
No doubt in my mind...
I CAN DO IT!
Ooh-ooh...
I'm a believer! I'm an achiever!
'Cause I try!

The words have been changed, though, so the song is not talking about Love, but about acheiving and success!
