Lyrics

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
Said he was in the war when in the Navy
Lost his wife, lost his baby
Broke down and asked him one time
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
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"
A few years later, I was off at college
Talking to Mom on the phone one night
Getting all caught up on
The ins and outs of the small town life
She said, "Oh, by the way, son
Mmm, old man Wrigley's died"
Later on that night, I laid there thinking back
Thought about a couple long-lost summers
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
If there was ever anybody
I know I'll see on the other side
It'll be that sweet old man
Who looked me in the eye
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 can't quote the book, the chapter, or the verse
But 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
That this can't be, no, this can't be
No, this can't be all there is
Lord, I raise my hands (I bow my head)
I'm finding more and more truth (Oh)
In the words written in red (Ooh, yeah, I raise my hands)
I raise my hands, I bow my head (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, yeah
Oh, I believe
Tell me that there's more to life
Than just what I can see
Oh, I believe
Oh, I believe (Yeah, I believe)
I believe
