I Believed Lyrics

J. Steele
CAPO II
INTRO: G C G C G
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 doin' without was a common scene, I believed
On a dried up square of worthless earth
Where we scratched our livin' 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 look within, the further I could see
And I really didn't have much other choice, so I believed
In a highrise world of steel and glass
Where a man dies young if he don't think fast, 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
In a place where people don't care
They turn their backs like you're not there, I believed
Yeah where anything goes and usually does
I held my breath and bit my tongue, 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
BRIDGE:
In a higher place, in a deeper faith
In a power stronger than you or me I believed
SOLO: G F C G F C G
Now when they put that granite on my grave
All I want that stone to say is I believed
In where I'm from and the woman I loved
The job I did and God above, I believed, I believed, I believed
SOLO out
