[00:00.00]Something to Believe in - Graham Blvd.
[00:23.26]Well I see him on the TV
[00:27.12]Preachin' 'bout the promised land
[00:31.02]He tells me to believe in Jesus
[00:34.28]And steals the money from my hand
[00:38.39]Some say he was a good man
[00:41.78]But Lord I think he sinned, yeah
[00:51.24]Twenty-two years of mental tears
[00:54.21]Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
[00:57.71]Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
[01:01.37]To find his country didn't want him back
[01:05.51]Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
[01:08.06]Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
[01:12.31]In a time I don't remember
[01:16.13]In a war he can't forget
[01:19.70]He cried forgive me for what I've done there
[01:23.23]'Cause I never meant the things I did
[01:31.77]Give me something to believe in
[01:36.08]If there's a Lord above
[01:38.94]Give me something to believe in
[01:43.47]Oh, Lord arise
[01:47.54]My best friend died a lonely man
[01:50.73]In some Palm Springs hotel room
[01:54.88]I got the call last Christmas Eve
[01:57.87]And they told me the news
[02:01.87]I tried all night not to break down and cry
[02:05.36]As the tears rolled down my face
[02:09.15]I felt so cold and empty
[02:12.35]Like a lost soul out of place
[02:16.21]And the mirror, mirror on the wall
[02:19.80]Sees my smile it fades again
[02:27.76]And give me something to believe in
[02:32.79]If there's a Lord above
[02:35.13]And give me something to believe in
[02:39.84]Oh, Lord arise
[02:43.40]Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
[02:47.28]The things I didn't know then
[03:37.66]I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
[03:41.94]Like bodies in an open grave
[03:45.61]Underneath the broken old neon sign
[03:49.37]That used to read Jesus saves
[03:53.18]A mile away live the rich folks
[03:56.30]And I see how they're living it up
[03:59.96]While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
[04:03.55]The rich is drinkin' from a golden cup
[04:07.38]And it just makes me wonder
[04:10.27]Why so many lose, so few win
[04:19.22]And give me something to believe in
[04:23.77]If there's a Lord above
[04:26.13]And give me something to believe in
[04:30.84]Oh, Lord arise
[04:33.70]And give me something to believe in
[04:37.74]If there's a Lord above
[04:41.15]And give me something to believe in
[04:42.83]You take the high road
[04:45.42]And I'll take the low road
[04:49.55]You take the high road
[04:52.68]And I'll take the low road
[04:56.99]You take the high road
[05:00.04]And I'll take the low road
[05:03.90]Yes sometimes I wish I didn't know now
[05:07.57]The things I didn't know then
[05:21.44]And give me something to believe in
