 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
