Well I see him on the TV preaching 'bout the promised lands
He tells me to believe in Jesus steals them money from my hand
Some say he was a good man but lord I think he sinned Yeah All right
Twenty two years of mental tears cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foriegn 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
And give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
Give me something to believe in
Oh lord arise
(one strum) (DUDU quick)
My best friend died a lonley man in some Palm Springs motel 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 mirror mirror on the wall see my smile it fades again
And give me something to believe in
If there's a lord above
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
X2
I drive by the homeless sleeping on the 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 livin' it up
While the poor they eatin' from hand to mouth they drinkin' from a golden cup
And it just makes me wonder why so many lose and so few win
And give me something to believe in
If there's a lord above
Give me something to believe in
Oh lord arise
Repeat chorus with just give me something to believe in
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now the things I didn't know then
And give me something to believe in
