Something to Belive In

[00:21.89] Well, I see him on the TV
[00:26.22] Preaching 'bout the promised lands
[00:29.64] He tells me, "Believe in Jesus"
[00:33.18] Steals the money from my hands
[00:36.95] Some say he was a good man
[00:41.03] Lord, I think he sinned, yeah, yeah
[00:46.59]
[00:49.93] 22 years of mental tears
[00:53.28] Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
[00:56.55] Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
[01:00.25] To find his country didn't want him back
[01:04.08] Their bullets took his best friends in Saigon
[01:07.03] Our lawyers took his wife, his kids, no regrets
[01:11.01] In a time I don't remember
[01:14.41] In a war he can't forget
[01:18.04] He cried, "Forgive me for what I done there
[01:21.96] 'Cause I never meant the things I did"
[01:25.92]
[01:29.32] And give me something to believe in
[01:33.92] If there's a Lord above
[01:36.93] And give me something to believe in
[01:40.41] Oh, Lord arise
[01:44.77] My best friend died a lonely man
[01:48.32] In some palm springs hotel room
[01:52.13] I got the call last Christmas Eve
[01:55.83] And they told me the news
[01:59.48] I tried all night not to break down an' cry
[02:03.05] As the tears rolled down my face
[02:06.19] I felt so cold and empty
[02:09.94] Like a lost soul out of place
[02:13.20] And the mirror, mirror on the wall
[02:17.48] See my smile, it fades again
[02:21.43]
[02:25.19] Uh, give me something to believe in (uh, give me something to believe in)
[02:29.88] If there's a Lord above
[02:32.40] Uh, give me something to believe in, yeah (uh, give me something to believe in)
[02:37.03] Oh, Lord arise
[02:40.28] Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
[02:44.16] Things I didn't know then
[02:49.36] Road you gotta take me home
[02:52.91]
[03:32.81] I drive by the homeless sleepin' on a cold dark street
[03:37.94] Like bodies in an open grave
[03:41.62] Underneath the broken old neon sign
[03:45.57] Used to read, "Jesus saves"
[03:48.81] A mile away live the rich folk
[03:52.45] And I see how they're livin' it up
[03:55.78] But while the poor, they eat from hand to mouth
[03:59.43] The rich are drinkin' from the golden cup
[04:02.89] And it just makes me wonder
[04:06.25] Why so many lose and so few wins, ha
[04:14.86] Give me something to believe in (uh, give me something to believe in)
[04:22.02] Give me something to believe in (uh, give me something to believe in)
[04:26.49] If there's a Lord above
[04:28.68] Give me something to believe in (take the high road, give me something to believe in)
[04:33.60] Oh, Lord arise
[04:36.21] Give me something to believe in (take the high road, give me something to believe in)
[04:40.61] Oh, Lord arise
[04:43.23] Oh, give me something to believe in (take the high road, give me something to believe in)
[04:47.29] Oh, Lord arise (take the low road)
[04:50.47] Give me something to believe in (take the high road, give me something to believe in)
[04:54.82] Oh, Lord arise (take the low road)
[04:58.33] Yeah, sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
[05:02.56] Things I didn't know then, yeah
[05:11.30] And give me something to believe in, yeah-yeah
[05:16.75]
