Were the water tower and a young boy's dreams
I believed
In a little house of simple means
Where doing without, was a common scene
I believed
On a dried up square of worthless earth
Where we scratched our living out of the dirt
I believed
In a little brown church where I first heard
The choir sing and the preacher's word
I believed, oh I believed
And the closer that I looked within
The further I could see
And I really didn't have much other choice
So, I believed
In a high-rise world of steel and glass
Where a man dies young if he don't think fast
I believed
(I believed)
On the streets where the truth is hard to find
And what's in it for me is the bottom line
I believed
(I believed)
In a place where people don't seem to care
They turn their backs like you're not there
I believed
Yeah, where anything goes, it usually does
I held my breath and bit my tongue
And I believed, oh I believed
The closer that I looked within
The further I could see
And I really didn't have much other choice
So, I believed
In a higher place, in a deeper faith
In a power stronger than you or me
I believed
Now, when they put that granite on my grave
All I want that stone to say is
I believed
And where I'm from and the woman I love
The job I did and God above
I believed, I believed, I believed
I believed
(I believed)
I believed
(I believed)
I believed
(I believed)
I believed
(I believed)
In a tiny town where the biggest things Were the water tower and a young boy's dreams I believed In a little house of simple means Where doing without, was a common scene I believed On a dried up square of worthless earth Where we scratched our living out of the dirt I believed In a little brown church where I first heard The choir sing and the preacher's word I believed, oh I believed And the closer that I looked within The further I could see And I really didn't have much other choice So, I believed In a high-rise world of steel and glass Where a man dies young if he don't think fast I believed (I believed) On the streets where the truth is hard to find And what's in it for me is the bottom line I believed (I believed) In a place where people don't seem to care They turn their backs like you're not there I believed Yeah, where anything goes, it usually does I held my breath and bit my tongue And I believed, oh I believed The closer that I looked within The further I could see And I really didn't have much other choice So, I believed In a higher place, in a deeper faith In a power stronger than you or me I believed Now, when they put that granite on my grave All I want that stone to say is I believed And where I'm from and the woman I love The job I did and God above I believed, I believed, I believed I believed (I believed) I believed (I believed) I believed (I believed) I believed (I believed) Explain Request ×
