I said I believe in God I said I believe in the impossible I said I believe in God Though none go with me I will follow He said man I've been to a church
Got the call at 5 pm You roommate said you'd left a note saying you could use a friend So I went to the hospital with my heart all choked up tight And
I fooled everybody I learned to say the right words and dress the right dress and do the right things But maybe one day they'll see through my facade
