Well I lay underneath an ageless sky
  I watched the universe breathing
  There's more going on up there than meets the eye
  Give me something to believe in
  
  Which way's in and which way's out
  Every step is misleading
  Well which way is up which way is down
  You gotta have something to believe in
  
  Oh, let me dream, let me dream
  I spend my whole life dreaming
  I've been lucky but I'm still mean
  You gotta have something to believe in
  
  I didn't mean to hurt the people I hurt
  I was full of fear and loathing
  I wasn't up to much, but I was all I had to go on
  Couldn't find nothing to believe in
  
  I don't like all them man-made religions
  They all need a little spiritual healing
  They don't cut across race, they don't cut across culture
  But we all need something to believe in
  
  So you believe what you want to believe
  Just stay true to your feelings
  'Cause one man's god's just as good as another now
  Gotta have something to believe in
  
  Well I lay underneath a royal throne
  The gaudy paint was peeling
  Half an inch deep and twice as cheap
  Oh give me something to believe in
  
  Fat Fred always packing lead
  On the corner dealing
  Makes more in a night than I can make in forty days
  Give me something to believe in
  
  Now people worship what they see
  Looks can be deceiving
  Violence rages in abandoned hearts
  'Cause they ain't got nothing to believe in
  
  The chill chill is a bitter pill
  When it comes to leaving
  'Cause there ain't no easy way outta here
  When you ain't got nothing to believe in
  
  Just woke up in Sarajevo city
  I watched all those mothers screaming
  Kids getting shot and for what, and for what?
  Give me something to believe in
  
  Now there's fire outside, mud that slides
  Earthquakes shake the region
  Willy and the Poorboys lost in America
  They ain't got nothing to believe in
  
  For every seed of knowledge found
  For every grain of reason
  For every shred of decency
  There's something to believe in
  
  Now I lay me down to rest
  In the silence of the evening
  And the moon road shines from here to eternity
  I've got something to believe in
  
  You believe what you want to believe
  Just stay true to your feelings
  'Cause one man's god's just as good as another
  I've got something to believe in.
