Believe - Grits

Everybody needs something to see

Something to feel

And something to be Everybody needs something as proof

Something in hand

To know the truth

Livin lavish like the biltmore

What the blood spilt for

A ship in harbor safe

But that aint what it’s built for

Do all i can to help you get more

If you forgive my slight intrusion

I see this night is confusin

A constant fight with illusions

Shed a light on conclusions

What you desire is a way out

Day in and day out

Do not disturb signs so I’ll stay out

How long will you let the torture grasp you

I see spirits manifestin

Blockin blessings with the questions

That you hear me ask you

Keep it up so muchwill pass you

You can make it on a prayer

Yeah that’s true

But barely getting by when you can do more

Why would you want to Forgettin that the woods dry and the fires on you

Lifes a hastle

Be prepared to rastle

It can be rough

But it don’t have to You can make it full of smiles

Something to laugh to So pick and chose my message thick

So squeeze and watch it ooze

Make it a game to where your fears lose

Lets go There’s a way that seems right

In the heart of a man

And many angels of light

In disguise destroying man

So most chose to refuse

The absolut truth

Replace it with lies

Use ignorance as an excuse

Its hard to conceive

What the mind can’t comprehend

And harder to believe

What the eyes can’t understand

We look to theory philosophy and thought

For a sure foundation

In a belief we once sought

While the shadow of truth

Cast an image so clear

The closer it gets

We reject it out of fear

If we really wanted truth

We would give our lives fo
