Lyrics of Believe

Old man wrigley lived in that white house
Down the street where i grew up
My momma used to send me over with things
We struck a friendship up

Spent a few long summers out on his old porch swing
Said he was in a war, in the navy
Lost his wife, lost his baby
I broke down and asked him one time, how you keep from going crazy?

He said, "i'll see my son and wife in just a little while"
I asked him what it meant
He looked at me and smiled, said

I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that it's more to life
Just what i can see, oh, i believe

Few years later, i was off at college
Talkin' on the phone to my mom one night
Gettin' all caught up in the gossip of a small town life
She said, "oh, by the way child, old man wrigley has died"

Later on that night, i lay there thinkin' back
I thought 'bout a couple of long lost summers
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh

You see, if there was ever anybody
Who deserved a ticket to the other side
It'll be that sweet old man
Who looked me in the eye and said

I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that it's more to life
Than just what i can see, oh

I can't quote the book, chapter or the verse
You can't tell it all ends in a slow ride in a hearse
Know i'm more and more convinced the longer that i live
And oh, this can't be, no, it can be, this can't be all there is

I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in words written in red
Tell me that it's more to life
Than just what i can see, oh, i believe

Oh, i, lord i, oh, i
Lord, i still believe
Oh, with all that i been through
Oh, still believe, yes, i do

I believe, yeah, oh lord i, lord i
I still believe
