Well I lay underneath an ageless sky
I watched the universe breathing
Theres more going on up there than meets the eye
Give me something to believe in
Which ways in and which ways out
Every step is misleading
Well which way is up which way is down
You gotta have something to believe in
Oh, let me dream, let me dream
I spend my whole life dreaming
Ive been lucky but Im still mean
You gotta have something to believe in
I didnt mean to hurt the people I hurt
I was full of fear and loathing
I wasnt up to much, but I was all I had to go on
Couldnt find nothing to believe in
I dont like all them man-made religions
They all need a little spiritual healing
They dont cut across race, they dont cut across culture
But we all need something to believe in
So you believe what you want to believe
Just stay true to your feelings
cause one mans gods just as good as another now
Gotta have something to believe in
Well I lay underneath a royal throne
The gaudy paint was peeling
Half an inch deep and twice as cheap
Oh give me something to believe in
Fat fred always packing lead
On the corner dealing
Makes more in a night than I can make in forty days
Give me something to believe in
Now people worship what they see
Looks can be deceiving
Violence rages in abandoned hearts
cause they aint got nothing to believe in
The chill chill is a bitter pill
When it comes to leaving
cause there aint no easy way outta here
When you aint got nothing to believe in
Just woke up in sarajevo city
I watched all those mothers screaming
Kids getting shot and for what, and for what?
Give me something to believe in
Now theres fire outside, mud that slides
Earthquakes shake the region
Willy and the poorboys lost in america
They aint got nothing to believe in
For every seed of knowledge found
For every grain of reason
For every shred of decency
Theres something to believe in
Now I lay me down to rest
In the silence of the evening
And the moon road shines from here to eternity
Ive got something to believe in
You believe what you want to believe
Just stay true to your feelings
cause one mans gods just as good as another
Ive got something to believe in.
