Something to Believe In - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)[00:00:00]
Well I see him on the TV[00:00:29]
Preachin' 'bout the promised land[00:00:33]
He tells me to believe in Jesus[00:00:36]
And steals the money from my hand[00:00:40]
Some say he was a good man[00:00:44]
But Lord I think he sinned yeah[00:00:47]
Twenty-two years of mental tears[00:00:57]
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet[00:01:00]
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore[00:01:03]
To find his country didn't want him back[00:01:07]
Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon[00:01:11]
Our lawyers took his wife and kids [00:01:13]
No regrets[00:01:16]
In a time I don't remember[00:01:18]
In a war he can't forget[00:01:21]
He cried "Forgive me for[00:01:25]
What I've done there[00:01:27]
Cause I never meant the things I did"[00:01:29]
(Chorus)[00:01:37]
And give me something to believe in[00:01:37]
If there's a Lord above[00:01:41]
And give me something to believe in[00:01:44]
Oh Lord arise[00:01:49]
My best friend died a lonely man[00:01:53]
In some Palm Springs hotel room[00:01:56]
I got the call last Christmas Eve[00:02:00]
And they told me the news[00:02:04]
I tried all night not to break down and cry[00:02:07]
As the tears rolled down my face[00:02:11]
I felt so cold and empty[00:02:14]
Like a lost soul out of place[00:02:18]
And the mirror mirror on the wall[00:02:22]
Sees my smile it fades again[00:02:25]
(Chorus)[00:02:33]
Sometimes I wish to God[00:02:49]
I didn't know now[00:02:51]
The things I didn't know then[00:02:53]
Road you gotta take me home[00:03:00]
I drive by the homeless sleeping on[00:03:43]
A cold dark street[00:03:46]
Like bodies in an open grave[00:03:47]
Underneath the broken old neon sign[00:03:51]
That used to read[00:03:55]
Jesus Saves[00:03:56]
A mile away live the rich folks[00:03:59]
And I see how they're living it up[00:04:02]
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth[00:04:05]
The rich is drinkin' from a golden cup[00:04:09]
And it just makes me wonder[00:04:13]
Why so many lose so few win[00:04:16]
(Chorus)[00:04:23]
I didn't know now[00:05:11]
The things I didn't know then[00:05:13]
And give me something to believe in[00:05:27]
