Jennifer Hudson - Believe lyrics
rate meOld 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 />
