[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
