Jennifer Hudson - Believe lyrics

rate me

Old man Rigley lived that white house

down the street where I grew up

my mama used to send me over with things

struck a friendship up

spent a few long summers

out on his old porch swing

said he was in the war in the navy

lost his wife lost his baby

I broke down and I asked him one time

how you keep from going crazy?

He said I see my son and wife in just a little while

I asked him what he meant

he looked at me and smile and said

I raise my hands bow my head

I'm finding more and more truth

in the words written in red

the they tell me that it's more to life

than just what I can see oh I believe, believe

Few years later I was off in college

talking on the phone with my mom one night

getting all caught up in the gossip

our small town life she said

oh, by the way child, old man Rigley has died

later on that night, I lay ther thinking back

I thought about a couple of long lost summers

I didn't know whether to cry or laugh

You see if there was ever anybody

who deserve a ticket to the other side

It'll be that sweet old man

who looked me in the eyes and said

I raise my hands bow my head

I'm finding more and more truth

in the words written in red

they tell me that it's more to life

than just what I can see oh I believe, believe

I can't quote the book, chapter or the verse

You can't tell me it all ends

in a slow ride in a hearse

now I'm more and more confused, the longer that I live

And oh this can't, no it can't be

It can't be all there is

I raise my hands, bow my head

I'm finding more and more truth

in the words in red written

they tell me that it's more to life

just as I can see oh I, believe, oh I,

, Lord I, oh, I, Lord I still believe

...be a fool, I still believe, yes I do, I believe, yeah

I believe, Lord I, Lord I, I still believe.<br />
