 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.
