-
(slow rock music)
-
Well I see him on the TV
-
Preaching about the promised lands
-
He tells me to believe in Jesus
-
And steals the money from my hands
-
Some say he was a good man
-
But Lord I think he sinned
-
22 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, his 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 did
-
And give me something to believe in
-
If there's a Lord above
-
And give me something to believe in
-
Oh Lord, arise
-
My 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
-
See my smile, it fades again
-
And give me something to believe in
-
Give me something to believe in
-
If there's a Lord above
-
And give me something
to believe in, yeah
-
Give me something to believe in
-
Oh Lord, arise
-
Sometimes I wish to
God I didn't know now
-
The things I didn't know then
-
Road, you gotta take me home
-
I 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 folk
-
And I see how they're living it up
-
While the poor, they
eat from hand to mouth
-
The rich drinkin' from the golden cup
-
And it just makes me wonder
-
Why so many lose, so few win
-
Give me something to believe in
-
Give me something to believe in
-
And give me something to believe in
-
Give me something to believe in
-
If there's a Lord above
-
Give me something to believe in
-
Give me something to believe in
-
Oh Lord
-
Give me something to believe in
-
Give me something to believe in
-
Oh Lord, Lord
-
Give me something to believe in
-
You take the high road
-
Give me something to believe in
-
And I'll take the low road
-
Give me something to believe in
-
You take the high road
-
Give me something to believe in
-
Oh Lord, Lord
-
Yeah sometimes I wish
I didn't know now
-
The things I didn't know then, yeah
-
And give me something to believe in
