Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
Down the street where I grew up
Momma used to send me over with things
We struck a freindship 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 he meant
He looked at me and smiled 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 there`s more to life than
just what I can see
Oh I believe
Few years later I was off at college
Talkin` to mom on the phone one night
Getting all caught up on the gossip
The ins and outs of the small town life
She said oh by the way son old man Wrigley`s died
Later on that night I laid there thinkin` back
I thought about a couple long-lost summers
I didn`t know whether to cry or laugh
If there was ever anybody
who desevred a ticket to the other side
It`d be that sweet old man
who looked me in the eye 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 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 me 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
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
Ohhh
I believe
Oh
Do you believe?
Because, I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe
