Well I see him on the T.V.
Preachin bout the promised lands
He tells me "Believe in Jesus"
Steals the money from my hands

Some say he was a good man
But lord I think he sinned, yeah

Twenty-two years of mental tears
Cries a suicidal Vietnam Vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
To find his Country didnt want him back

Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
Our lawyers took his wife, his kids, no regrets
In a time I dont remember
In a War he cant forget

He cried forgive me for what Ive done there
Cause I never meant the things I did

Chorus:
And give me something to believe in
If theres a lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, lord arise

My best friend died a lonely man
In some Palm Springs hotel 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 the mirror, mirror on the wall
Sees my smile it fades again

Chorus
And give me something to believe in
If theres a lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, lord arise

Sometimes I wish to God I didnt know now
The things I didnt know then
Road you gotta take me home

Solo

I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
Like bodies in an old bone grave
Underneath the broken old neon sign
That used to read Jesus saves

A mile away live the rich folk
And I see how theyre living it up
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich drinkin from a golden cup

And it just makes me wonder
Why so many lose, so few win

Chorus
And give me something to believe in
If theres a lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, lord arise

You take the high road
And Ill take the low road

Sometimes I wish to God I didnt know now
Things I didnt know then

And give me something to believe in
