(Springfield)
|
Lighting candles in the church of my choice
|
Loving strangers in the dark
|
Looking for someone to give me what I lack
|
Searching for something 'til you showed me
|
The gun in my back
|
|
I'm human and I need it
|
And I must have my beliefs
|
I open myself to the love
|
And I love you 'cause you showed me
|
A merciful release
|
I'm living this time and I know you gave
|
me the reason
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
One reason (to believe), one reason
|
(you're the one)
|
One reason (to believe), one reason (my baby)
|
One reason (it's all I need), one reason
|
(to believe)
|
|
Trying to get faith from the $8.50 paperbacks
|
Hoping they'll show me the way
|
(the way to what?)
|
Man in a crisis, a young girl in his bed
|
She's trying to help him when she tells him
|
It's all in his head
|
|
I'm human and I need it
|
And I must have my beliefs
|
I open myself to the love
|
And I love you 'cause you showed me
|
A merciful release
|
I'm living this time and I know you
|
gave me the reason
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I bow to the east or I kneel to the west
|
It's a matter of faith
|
I'm the only one who has to believe it
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I bow to the east or I kneel to the west
|
It's a matter of faith
|
I'm the only one who has to believe it
|
|
[Chorus]
