Believe

[Verse 1] 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 I spent a few long summers, hm Out on his old porch swing Says he was in the war in the navy Lost his wife, lost his baby I Brokedown and I asked him one time How ya keep from going crazy He said: "I'll see my son and wife in just a little while" I asked him what he meant He looked at me and smiled and said [Chorus] I raise my hands, bow my head I'm finding more and more truth In the words written in red They tell me that there's more to life Than just what I can see, oh I believe [Verse 2] A few years later, I was off to college Talkin' on the phone with my mama one night Getting all caught up in the gossip of the small-town life She said, oh, by the way child, old man Wrigley's died Later on that night, I laid 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'd be that sweet old man Who looked me in the eye and said [Chorus] I raise my hands, bow my head I'm finding more and more truth In the words written in red They tell me that there's more to life Than just what I can see, oh [Bridge] I can't quote the book The chapter or the verse You can't tell me it all ends In a slow ride in a hearse You know I'm more and more convinced The longer that I live Yeah, this can't be, no, this can't be No, this can't be all there is [Chorus] When I raise my hands, bow my head I'm finding more and more truth In the words written in red They tell me that there's more to life Than just what I can see, oh I believe [Outro] Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I Oh I still believe Do you believe? Because I believe I believe, I believe I believe, I believe I still believe
