Letra de Something to believe in

Will I see him on the TV
Preachin´ ´bout the promised land
He tells me to believe in Jesus
And steals the money from my hand

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 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"

Chorus:
And give me something to believe in
If there´s 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

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

Solo

I drive by the homeless sleeping on a 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´re living it up
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich is drinkin´ from a golden cup

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

Chorus

You take the high road
And I´ll take the low road

Sometimes I wish to God I didn´t know now
The things I didn´t know then

And give me something to believe in
