Well I see him on the TV Preachin 'bout the promised land Tells me to believe in Jesus Steals the money right from our hands Some say he was a good man But, Lord I think he sinned, yeah yeah Twenty-two years of mental tears Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet He fought a losing war on a foreign shore To find his country didn't want him back The polies took his best friends in Siagon 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 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 When 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 some lost soul out of place And the mirror, mirror on the wall See my smile, it fades again Ah, give me something to believe in If there's a Lord above Give me something to believe in Oh, Lord arise... Sometimes I wished to God I didn't know now Things I didn't know then Lord, you gotta take me home I drive by the homeless Sleeping on a cold dark street Like bodies in an open grave In a broken old neon sign 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 are drinking from the golden cup And it just makes me wonder Why so many lose and so few win Figure out a way to document this next section... Hey, give me something to believe in (Give me something to believe in) Give me something to believe in (Give me something to believe in) If there's a Lord above Give me something to believe in (You take the high road and I'll take the low road) Oh Lord arise Give me something to believe in Oh Lord.... Give me something to believe in Oh Lord.... Give me soomething to believe in Oh Lord, arise Yeah, sometimes I wish I didn't know now Things I didn't know then... And give me something to believe in, yeah yeah |
