Something to Believe in
Will 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, yeah
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 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 did"
CHORUS 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 sees my smile it fades again
CHORUS
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 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 win
CHORUS
You take the high road and I'll take the low road
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
