Something To Believe In Lyrics


Well I see him on the TV
Preachin' 'bout the promised land
He tells me to believe in Jesus
And steals the money from my hand
Some say he was a good man
But Lord I think he sinned, yeahTwenty-two years of mental tears
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
To find his country didn't want him back
Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
In a time I don't remember
In a war he can't forget
He cried Forgive me for what I've done there
Cause I never meant the things I didAnd give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord ariseMy best friend died a lonely man

In some Palm Springs hotel room
I got the call last Christmas Eve
And they told me the news
I tried all night not to break down and cry
As the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty
Like a lost soul out of place
And the mirror, mirror on the wall
Sees my smile it fades againAnd give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord ariseSometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know thenI drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
Like bodies in an open grave
Underneath the broken old neon sign
That used to read Jesus saves
A mile away live the rich folks
And I see how they're living it up
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich is drinkin' from a golden cup
And it just makes me wonder
Why so many lose, so few winAnd give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord ariseYou take the high road
And I'll take the low roadYes Sometimes I wish I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then
And give me something to believe in
