Bret Michaels - Something To Believe In (as made famous by Poison)(2009)

[00:00.00] Will I see him on the TV
[00:03.66] Preachin' 'bout the promised land
[00:07.20] He tells me to believe in Jesus
[00:09.99] And steals the money from my hand
[00:14.46] Some say he was a good man
[00:18.18] But Lord I think he sinned, yeah
[00:24.47] Twenty-two years of mental tears
[00:30.72] Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
[00:34.32] Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
[00:37.97] To find his country didn't want him back
[00:40.66] Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
[00:44.34] Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
[00:48.86] In a time I don't remember
[00:52.41] In a war he can't forget
[00:56.06] He cried "Forgive me for what I've done there
[00:58.78] Cause I never meant the things I did"
[01:05.96] Chorus:
[01:07.75] And give me something to believe in
[01:11.33] If there's a Lord above
[01:14.05] And give me something to believe in
[01:18.60] Oh, Lord arise
[01:24.98] My best friend died a lonely man
[01:26.74] In some Palm Springs hotel room
[01:30.39] I got the call last Christmas Eve
[01:33.93] And they told me the news
[01:37.58] I tried all night not to break down and cry
[01:41.21] As the tears rolled down my face
[01:43.96] I felt so cold and empty
[01:47.55] Like a lost soul out of place
[01:52.06] And the mirror, mirror on the wall
[01:55.62] Sees my smile it fades again
[01:59.25] Chorus
[02:19.14] Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
[02:22.72] The things I didn't know then
[02:30.94] Road you gotta take me home
[02:34.50] Solo
[03:12.40] I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
[03:16.91] Like bodies in an open grave
[03:20.52] Underneath the broken old neon sign
[03:24.13] That used to read JESUS SAVES
[03:27.79] A mile away live the rich folks
[03:30.48] And I see how they're living it up
[03:34.17] While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
[03:37.75] The rich is drinkin' from a golden cup
[03:43.10] And it just makes me wonder
[03:44.93] Why so many lose, so few win
[03:51.24] Chorus
[04:12.96] You take the high road
[04:15.69] And I'll take the low road
[04:39.18] Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
[04:41.80] The things I didn't know then
[04:48.20] And give me something to believe in
[05:07.16]
