Well I see him on the TV preaching 'bout the promised land

He tells me to believe in Jesus steals the money from my hand

Some say he was a good man lord I think he sinned

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 ...

And give me something to believe in

If there's a lord above

Give me something to believe in, Oh lord arise

My best friend died a lonely 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 sees a smile than 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

Solo

(barchord)-(Barchord)[x2] -[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 eat from hand to mouth the rich drink from a golden cup

And it just makes me wonder why so many lose and so few win

Now 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

Oh give me something to believe in.
