Lyrics

[00:23.20] Well I see him on the TV
[00:27.16] Preaching about the promised land
[00:30.60] he tells me believe in Jesus
[00:34.00] steals the money from my hands
[00:37.86] some say he was a good man
[00:41.46] Lord I think he sinned.... yeah
[00:46.21]
[00:50.51] Twenty two years of mental tears
[00:53.67] cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
[00:57.36] Who fought a losing war
[00:58.80] on a foreign shore
[01:00.70] to find his country didn’t want him back
[01:04.45] their bullet took his best friend in Saigon
[01:07.89] our lawyers took his wife n kids no regrets
[01:11.73] In a time I don’t remember
[01:15.19] in a war he cant forget
[01:18.55] he cried “forgive me for what I done there
[01:22.24] Cause I never meant the things I did”
[01:27.31]
[01:30.08] and give me something to believe in
[01:34.66] if there’s a lord above
[01:37.43] and give me something to believe in
[01:41.83] oh, lord arise
[01:44.02]
[01:45.98] My best friend died a lonely man
[01:49.24] in some Palm Springs hotel room
[01:52.90] I got the call last Christmas Eve
[01:56.11] and they told me the news
[02:00.23] I tried all night not to break down n cry
[02:03.44] as the tears rolled down my face
[02:07.40] I felt so cold n empty
[02:10.62] like a lost soul out of place
[02:14.25] and a Mirror mirror on the wall
[02:17.84] sees my smile it fades again
[02:23.55]
[02:25.79] and give me something to believe in( I give me something to believe in)
[02:30.55] if there’s lord above
[02:32.88] and give me something to believe in ( I give me something to believe in)
[02:37.41] Oh, lord arise
[02:39.14]
[02:41.05] Sometimes I wish to God I didn’t know now
[02:45.03] things I did know then,
[02:50.66] Road you gotta take me home
[02:52.74]
[02:54.06] solo
[03:33.86] I drive by the homeless
[03:36.14] sleepin’ on a cold dark street
[03:38.66] like bodies in a open grave
[03:42.32] underneath the broken old neon sign
[03:45.87] used to read “Jesus saves”
[03:49.43] A mile away way live the rich folk
[03:52.81] and I see how they’re livin’ it up
[03:56.37] but while the poor they eat from hand to mouth
[04:00.05] the rich are drinkin’ from a golden cup
[04:03.52] and it just makes me wonder
[04:06.35] how so many lose and so few win
[04:14.16]
[04:14.89] Ha give me something to believe in
[04:22.20] give me something to believe in
[04:27.14] I said the lord above
[04:29.42] give me something to believe in
[04:33.39] oh lord arise
[04:36.60] give me something to believe in
[04:38.70] you take the high road
[04:43.77] give me something to believe in
[04:48.11] and I’ll take the low road
[04:50.83] give me something to believe in
[04:53.37] you take the high road
[04:58.96] there’s some times I wish I didn’t know now
[05:03.00] things I did know then
[05:05.99]
[05:16.34] and give me something to believe in
