Somethin To Believe In
One, two, three
Well I see him on the TV
Preaching about the promised lands
He tells me believe on Jesus
Lord, steals money from my hands
Some say he was a good man
Lord, I think he sinned... alright
Twenty 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
Lawyers took his wife, his kids no regrets
A time I don't remember
In a war he can't forget
He cried "forgive me for what I done there
I never meant the things I did"
No, No
I pray the Lord have mercy on me
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 n cry
What the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty
Like a lost soul out of place
Mirror mirror that's on the wall
Smile it fades again
I pray the Lord have mercy on me
Give me something to believe in
If there's Lord above
You give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
To God I didn't know now
Things I didn't know then
Road you gotta take me home
I drive by the homeless
Sleepin' on a cold dark street
Like bodies in an old bone grave
Underneath the broken old neon sign
Used to read "Jesus saves"
A mile away live the rich folks
And I see how they're livin' it up
But while the poor they eat from hand to mouth
Rich are drinkin' from a golden cup
And it just makes me wonder
So many lose and so few win
I hope the Lord has mercy on me
Give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord above
You give me something to believe in
Oh lord arise
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
Things I didn't know then
Yeah
And give me something to believe yeah yeah
Well I see him on the TV
Preaching about the promised lands
He tells me believe on Jesus
Lord, steals money from my hands
Some say he was a good man
Lord, I think he sinned... alright
