Lyrics

[Intro: Bret Michaels] Wanna take the time to dedicate this next song To the men and women who fought overseas and are comin' home right now Went over there and made the U-S of A proud Please, help me sing this next song loud This one's called, "Something to Believe In," it goes like this [Verse 1: Bret Michaels] Well, I see him on the TV Preachin' 'bout the promised lands He tells me to believе in Jesus And steals the monеy from my hands 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 friends in Saigon Lawyers took his wife, his 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: Bret Michaels] Give me somethin' to believe in If there's a Lord above A-give me somethin' to believe in, yeah I said, Lord, arise [Verse 2: Bret Michaels] 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 God, it feels so cold here It so lonely in this place Mirror, mirror on the wall See my smile, it fades again [Chorus: Bret Michaels, C.C. DeVille & Bobby Dall] Give me somethin' to believe in, yeah (Give me something to believe in) Give me somethin' to believe in, yeah (Give me something to believe in) I said, Lord, arise [Bridge: Bret Michaels] Sometimes, I wish to God I didn't know now The things I didn't know then Road, you gotta take me home, come on [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3: Bret Michaels] I drive by the homeless sleepin' 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 folk And I see how they're livin' it up While the poor, they eat from hand to mouth The rich drinkin' from a golden cup It just makes me wonder So many lose and so few win, oh [Chorus: Bret Michaels, C.C. DeVille & Bobby Dall] Give me somethin' to believe in, yeah (Give me something to believe in) Orlando, give me somethin' to believe in, yeah (Give me something to believe in) I said, Lord, arise Give me somethin' to believe in (you take the high road) I said, I said, sweet Jesus (and I'll take the low road) Somethin' to believe in (you take the high road) If there's a Lord, Lord above (and I'll take the low road) Somethin' to believe in (you take the high road) I said, I said, sweet Jesus (and I'll take the low road) Somethin' to believe in (you take the high road) I said, I said, Lord (and I'll take the low road) [Outro: Bret Michaels] Sometimes, I wish to God I didn't know now The things I didn't know then And give me somethin' Lord, I said, somethin' Lord, I said, won't you Won't you give me somethin' to believe in? Yeah-yeah Thank you very much
