Bilingual
Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
Down the street where I grew up
Mama used to send me over with things
We struck a friendship up
I spent a few long summers
Out on his old porch swing
He said he was in the war
Went in the Navy
Lost his wife and lost his baby
I broke down and asked him one time
I said
How you 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 and said
I raise my hands
I 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, oh
A few years later I was off at college
Talking to mom on the phone one night (phone one night)
Getting all caught up on the gossip
The ins and outs of the small town life
Said, oh, by the way, son, Old man Wrigley died
Later on that night, I laid there thinking back (hmm-mm)
Thought about a couple of long-lost souls
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
If there was ever anybody
Deserved to take it to the other side (the other side)
It'd be that sweet old man who
Looked me in the eyes
He said
I raise my hands (raise my hands)
I bow my head (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 good book
Don't know the chapter or the verse
But you can't tell me this all ends in a slow ride in a hearse
You know I'm more and more convinced the longer that I live
This can't be (no, this can't be)
No, this can't be (this can't be)
This can't be all there is
I raise my hands (raise my hands)
I bow my head (bow my head)
I'm finding more and more truth (I'm finding more truth)
In the words written in red (words written in red)
They tell me that there's more to life (there's more to life)
Than just what I can see
Oh, I believe
Oh, I believe
I believe, oh (I believe)
I believe, oh (I believe)
Oh, I believe (I believe)
Oh, I believe
I believe (I believe)
Oh, I believe
