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 out on his old porch swing Says he was in the war when in the navy Lost his wife, lost his baby I broke down and asked him one time "How ya keep from going crazy?" He said "I'll see my wife and son in just a little while" I asked him what it 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
Few years later I was off at college Talkin' on the phone to my mom one night Getting 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 laid there thinkin' back I thought 'bout a couple 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
I can't quote the book The chapter or the verse You can't tell 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 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 believeTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
