Something To Believe In
(c) Matt Thackston, 2003
I came from a town where they believed God was good
Whether he?d been good to them or not
They never asked questions about what they didn?t have
And they were always thankful for what they got
They marry their children and bury their loved ones
And chalk it all up to divine insight
And they called me ungrateful, and they called me a heathen
For wanting more than just another lonely night
CHORUS:
I want more than empty promises
And I don?t think that?s a sin
I won?t settle for a window when there?s a door
I need a little more than something to believe in
My folks had big plans once upon a time
But now they fight for their existence everyday
And they don?t understand, they think I?m wasting my time
But I?m not going to end up that way
When I turned eighteen, as I drove out of town
They said, ?that prodigal son will never return,?
But what they didn?t understand is that I?ll never fit in
Cause I?ll never surrender and they?ll never learn
CHORUS
They had big plans for me
Plans my dreams outgrew
And what good?s a dream
If it never comes true?
Sounds like he understands what a JW life is like. I love his CD.
