Something to Believe In (Rerecorded)

Текст песни Bret Michaels - Something to Believe In (Rerecorded)

Well, I see him on the TV
He preachin' 'bout the promised land
He tells me believe on Jesus
Stealin' money from my hand
Some say he was a good man
But, Lord, I think he's sinning
One, two, three

"Twenty-two years of mental tears"
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
Found his country didn't want him back
The bullets took his best friends in Saigon
Our lawyers took his wife, his kids, no regrets
Time I don't remember, Lord, and woe he can't forget
He cried, "Forgive me for what I done there
I never meant those things I did"

And give me somethin' to believe in
If there's a Lord above
Yeah, give me somethin' 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 evening
They told me the news
I tried all night not to break down and cry
But the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty, Lord
Like a lost soul out of place
The mirror, mirror that's on the wall
I see the smile, it fade again

Give me somethin' to believe in
If there's a Lord above
Yeah, give me somethin' to believe in
Oh, Lord arise

Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then
Road, you gotta take me home

I drive by homeless sleepin' on a cold, dark street
Lie bodies in an open grave
Underneath a broken old neon sign
That used to read "Jesus Saves"
I'm all aware of the rich folk
And I see how they're 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

And give me somethin' to believe in
If there's a Lord above
Yeah, give me somethin' to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
Yeah, give me somethin' to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
Yeah, give me somethin' to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
And give me somethin' to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
Yeah, give me somethin' to believe in
Oh, Lord arise, sweet Jesus

Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then

Yeah
And give me somethin' to believe in
