Song Lyrics

All my life I've been lost
Always burned every bridge that I crossed
Heart of stone, will of steel
I built a wall so I wouldn't feel
I walk alone but alone the night's so cold
The street's are mean without a dream to call your own

[Chorus]
Ohh, gimme somethin' to believe in
Ohh, gimme somethin' I can touch
All my life I've been searchin' for a reason to care
For a reason to trust
Somethin' to believe in

Angels sin, heroes fall
Friends'll lie when their back's to the wall
Years of tears make you tough
I learned to fight, never learned how to love
It's gonna take an act of faith, I know
To break these chains of doubt around my soul

[Chorus]

I've been running and I feel so far from home
But something tells me there ain't so far to go

Ohh, gimme somethin' to believe in
Ohh, gimme somethin' I can touch
All my life I've been searchin' for a reason to care
For a reason to trust
Ohh, I've had nothing to hold on to
Ohh, and it took so long to see
I'll be strong when there's something to believe in
Something to believe in in me

Desmond Child, Dean Pitchford, Diane Eve Warren
