Been Set Free

I've been driving sixteen hours

This rain is like a metronome

And on my radio, they're talking 'bout Jesus

Talking all about coming home

Well, I don't know a thing about it

I close my ears and live without it

You can hear too much when you're alone

Like children's voices, lovers' moaning

Or a dry wind blowing through a riverbed

All these memories, well, they're all wrapped up

Like a ball of yarn inside my head

Now a semi's moving up behind me

Its headlights, they all but blind me

And it's funny for the first time I can see

I have believed in money, but all I got was greed

I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed

I have believed in faith, but faith turned its back on me

If I had only believed in love, I could have been set free

I often wonder, does it matter?

Or is this all a worthless joke?

Are we just atoms conceived in silence

Waiting our turn to fly like smoke?

I'd do anything to lay beside you

I'd bring you all the things that I denied you

I'd say the words I seldom spoke

I have believed in money, but all I got was greed

I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed

I have believed in faith, but faith turned its back on me

If I had only believed in love, I could have been set free

I have believed in money, but all I got was greed

I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed

I have believed in faith, but faith turned its back on me

If I had only believed in love

If I had only believed in love

If I had only believed in love

I could have been set free
