| 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 Belived, 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
|
| On the streets where the truth is hard
|
| To find
|
| And what’s in it for me is the bottom line
|
| I Believed
|
| In a place whre 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
|
| REPEAT CHORUS
|
| BRIDGE
|
| 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 |
