Tap any line for its meaning
1 Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
2 Down the street where I grew up
3 Momma used to send me over with things
4 We struck a freindship up
5 I spent a few long summers out on his old porch swing
6 Says he was in the war when in the navy
7 Lost his wife, lost his baby
8 Broke down and asked him one time
9 How ya keep from going crazy
10 He said I'll see my wife and son in just a little while
11 I asked him what he meant
12 He looked at me and smiled, said
13 (Chorus)
14 I raise my hands, bow my head
15 I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
16 They tell me that there's more to life than just what I can see
17 Oh I believe
18 Few years later I was off at college
19 Talkin' to mom on the phone one night
20 Getting all caught up on the gossip
21 The ins and outs of the small town life
22 She said oh by the way child, old man Wrigley's died.
23 Later on that night, I laid there thinkin' back
24 Thought 'bout a couple long-lost summers
25 I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
26 If there was ever anybody desevred a ticket to the other side
27 It'd be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye, said
28 (Chorus)
29 I raise my hands, bow my head
30 I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
31 They tell me that there's more to life than just what I can see
32 I can't quote the book
33 The chapter or the verse
34 You can't tell me it all ends
35 In a slow ride in a hearse
36 You know I'm more and more convinced
37 The longer that I live
38 Yeah, this can't be
39 No, this can't be
40 No, this can't be all there is
41 (Chorus)
42 When I raise my hands, bow my head
43 I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
44 They tell me that there's more to life than just what I can see
45 I believe
46 Oh, I
47 I believe
48 I believe
49 I believe
50 I believe
51 I believe
