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
I spent a few long summers out on his old porch swing.

He was in the war when in the Navy
Lost his wife, lost his baby
Broke down and asked him one time
How ya keep on from going crazy?

He said, I'll see my wife and son in just a little while
I asked him what he meant
Looked at me and smiled and said . . .

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

Few years later I was off at college 
Talking to Mom on the phone one night
Getting all caught up on the gossip
The ins and outs of the small town life
She said, Oh, by the way son, old man Wrigley's died.

Later on that night I laid there thinking back
Thought about a couple long-lost summers
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
If there was ever anybody deserved a ticket to the other side
It'd be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye, said . . .

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

I can't quote the book
The chapter or the verse
You can't tell me it all ends
In a slow ride in a hearse.

You know I'm more and more convinced
The longer that I live
Yeah, this can't be
No, this can't be
No, this can't be all there is.

When I raise my hands, bow my head
Well I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to this than just what I can see
Oh I believe
