Well I see him on the TV
Preaching about the promised land
he tells me believe in Jesus
steals the money from my hands
some say he was a good man
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 bullet took his best friend in Saigon
our lawyers took his wife n kids no regrets
In a time I don’t remember
in a war he cant forget
he cried “forgive me for what I done there
Cause I never meant the things I did”
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 n cry
as the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold n empty
like a lost soul out of place
and a Mirror mirror on the wall
sees my smile it fades again
and give me something to believe in( I give me something to believe in)
if there’s lord above
and give me something to believe in ( I give me something to believe in)
Oh, lord arise
Sometimes I wish to God I didn’t know now
things I did know then,
Road you gotta take me home
solo
I drive by the homeless
sleepin’ on a cold dark street
like bodies in a open grave
underneath the broken old neon sign
used to read “Jesus saves”
A mile a
