I Believed lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics I Believed lyrics In a tiny town where the biggest things Were the water tower and a young boy s dreams I believed In a little house of simple means Where doing without, was a common scene I believed On a dried up square of worthless earth Where we scratched our living out of the dirt I believed In a little brown church where I first heard The choir sing and the preacher s word I believed, oh I believed And the closer that I looked within The further I could see And I really didn t have much other choice So, I believed In a high-rise world of steel and glass Where a man dies young if he don t think fast I believed (I believed) On the streets where the truth is hard to find And what s in it for me is the bottom line I believed (I believed) In a place where people don t seem to care They turn their backs like you re not there I believed Yeah, where anything goes, it usually does I held my breath and bit my tongue And I believed, oh I believed The closer that I looked within The further I could see And I really didn t have much other choice So, I believed In a higher place, in a deeper faith In a power stronger than you or me I believed Now, when they put that granite on my grave All I want that stone to say is I believed And where I m from and the woman I love The job I did and God above I believed, I believed, I believed I believed (I believed) I believed (I believed) I believed (I believed) I believed (I believed) song lyrics
