I Believe

Every once in a while I take a break from listening to SportsRadio and Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck and I go on a country music kick.Last week while I was driving to one of my favorite running paths, I heard the song Believe by Brooks & Dunn. Wow! I thought I was listening to someone singing in a church. The song tells the story of the faith of Old Man Wrigley. The words are powerful, especially the chorus:

I raise my hands, bow my head.
I'm findin' 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...

When I raise my hands, bow my head
Oh, I'm findin' more and more truth
In the words written in red.
They tell me that there's more to this
Than just what I can see.
I believe...... Ohh, I
I believe...
I believe. (I believe)
I believe...........

Brooks & Dunn are the Hall & Oates of country music. Great song.
