Lyrics
[Chorus]
Could I believe in a man I don't see?
I wish I could hear if he's talkin' to me
'Cause if I could meet him, the big man upstairs
Well, I'd ask him if Grandpa still rocks in his chair
[Verse 1]
I've met hell-raising angels, devils, and saints
Addicts on sidewalks who give more than take
Poison-filled pastors who lie through their teeth
Who scold me for asking why I should believe
They say in the good book he looks just like me
Is he tattooed and tired and can't find his peace?
Does he drown out his sorrows with whiskey, cocaine
A 4:00 a.m. panic and praying for change?
[Chorus]
Could I believe in a man I don't see?
I wish I could hear if he's talkin' to me
'Cause if I could meet him, the big man upstairs
Well, I'd ask him if Grandpa still rocks in his chair
[Verse 2]
I was young and outrageous, rage-filled and desperate
For someone to show me that I ain't alone
The more that you give him, the better it gets
Grandpa would say as he walked me back home
But Grandpa ain't here, and the world's feeling dark
I'm looking for sunlight to patch up my heart
I sat myself down in an old wooden pew
I cried out in silence and hoped to hear you
[Chorus]
Could I believe in a man I don't see?
I wish I could hear if he's talkin' to me
'Cause if I could meet him, the big man upstairs
Well, I'd ask him if Grandpa still rocks in his chair
[Chorus]
Could I believe in a man I don't see?
I wish I could hear if he's talkin' to me
'Cause if I could meet him, the big man upstairs
Well, I'd ask him if Grandpa still rocks in his chair
