Tekst piosenki:
Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
Down the street where I grew up
My momma used to send me over with things
We struck a friendship 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 it meant
He looked at me and smiled and said
[Chorus:]
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' on the phone to my mom one night
Getting all caught up in the gossip
Of a small town life
She said: "Oh, by the way child, old man Wrigley has died"
Later on that night, I laid there thinkin' back
I thought 'bout a couple long-lost summers
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
You see, if there was ever anybody
Who deserved a ticket to the other side
It'd be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye and said
[Chorus:]
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 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
[Chorus:]
When 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
Oh, I, Lord, I, oh, I
Lord, I still believe
Oh, with all that I been through
Oh, still believe, yes I do
I believe, yeah, oh Lord I, Lord I
I still believe
