I have been listening to this song for about four days straight at least once to 20 times a day!
it is by Brooks and Dunn and it is called I Believe...
you have to hear them sing it! gives you goosebumps!!

Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
Down the street where I grew up
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.

Says he was in the war when in the navy
Lost his wife, lost his baby
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, 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' to mom on the phone one night
Getting all caught up on the gossip
The ins and outs of the small town life
She said, oh by the way son, old man Wrigley's died.

Later on that night, I laid there thinkin' back
Thought 'bout a couple long-lost summers
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
If there was ever anybody deserved 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.
Oh, I
I believe.

I believe.
I believe.
I believe.
I believe...

Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking you're one step closer
Don't stop searching it's not over
Hold on


heavy sigh. Thanks rf.

I never thought of the copyright rules for lyrics. But you do have a good point... Sooooooo we should not be posting lyrics to songs ... Right??
