Jennifer Hudson - Believe Lyrics

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 freindship 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
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 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 O' long-lost summers
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
You see, 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

[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 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

[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
Ohhh
I believe
Oh
Do you believe?
Because, I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe
