Old man Wrigley lived in that white house down the street where I grew up
Momma used to send me over with things we struck a friendship up
Spent a few long summers
Out on his old porch swing

Said he was in a war in the navy
Lost his wife lost his baby
I broke down and asked him once
How you keep from going crazy
He said I'll see my son and wife in just a little while
I asked him what he meant
He looked at me and smiled said

I raise my hands bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written and read
They tell me that it's more to life just what I can see
Oh I believe

Few years later I was off at college
Talking on the phone to my mom one night
Getting all caught up on the gossip
Of a small town life
She said oh by the way child old man Wrigley has died

Later on that night
I laid there thinking back
I thought about a couple long lost summers
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
You see if there was ever anybody who deserved a ticket to the other side
It'll be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye and said

I raise my hands bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written and read
They tell me that it's more to life than just what I can see

I can't quote the book chapter or the verse
You can't tell me it all ends in a slow ride in a hearse
Now I'm more and more convinced the longer that I live
And no this can't be
No it can't be
This can't be all there is

I raise my hands bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written and read
They tell me that it's more to life just what I can see
Oh I believe
