Well, I see him on the TVPreaching ’bout the promised landsHe tells me, “Believe in Jesus”Steals the money from my handsSome say he was a good manLord, I think he sinned, yeah-yeah

22 years of mental tears cries a suicidal Vietnam vetWho fought a losing war on a foreign shoreTo find his country didn’t want him backTheir bullets took his best friends in SaigonOur lawyers took his wife, his kids, no regretsIn a time I don’t rememberIn a war he can’t forgetHe cried, “Forgive me for what I’ve done there‘Cause I never meant the things I did

And give me something to believe inIf there’s a Lord aboveAnd give me something to believe inOh, Lord, arise”

My best friend died a lonely manIn some Palm Springs hotel roomI got the call last Christmas EveAnd they told me the newsI tried all night not to break down and cryAs the tears rolled down my faceI felt so cold and emptyLike a lost soul out of placeAnd the mirror, mirror on the wallSees my smile, it fades again

And give me something to believe in(And give me something to believe in)If there’s a Lord aboveAnd give me something to believe in(And give me something to believe in)Oh, Lord, arise

Sometimes I wish to God I didn’t know nowThings I did know thenRoad, you gotta take me home

I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark streetLike bodies in an open graveUnderneath the broken old neon signThat used to read “Jesus saves”A mile away live the rich folksAnd I see how they’re living it upOh, while the poor, they eat from hand to mouthThe rich is drinkin’ from a golden cupAnd it just makes me wonderWhy so many lose, and so few win

Ha! Give me something to believe in(And give me something to believe in)And give me something to believe in(And give me something to believe in) if there’s a Lord aboveAnd give me something to believe in (take the high road)(And give me something to believe in) oh, Lord, arise

And give me something to believe in (take the high road)(And give me something to believe in)Oh, Lord, arise (and I’ll take the low road)And give me something to believe in (take the high road)(Give me something to believe in)Oh, Lord, arise (and I’ll take the low road)And give me something to believe in (take the high road)(Give me something to believe in)Oh, Lord, arise (and I’ll take the low road)

Yeah, sometimes I wish I didn’t know nowThings I did know then, yeahAnd give me something to believe in, yeah-yeah
