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 Belived, 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 

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 whre 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 

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
