| [VERSE 1] |
| There's a man hitchhiking on an interstate road |
| He ain't got a dime, just a heavy load |
| And he's starting to believe it ain't worth growing old |
| Then an eighteen wheeler starts slowing down |
| He gets a twenty dollar bill and a ride to town |
| And from that day on his life seems to turn around |
| [CHORUS] |
| You gotta have faith, you gotta believe |
| That the good Lord knows what we all need |
| Sometimes it just seems a little hard to see |
| When life gets rough, take a look around |
| There's always those a little further down |
| And what you give is what you will receive |
| You just gotta believe |
| [VERSE 2] |
| There's a worried mother up late one night |
| Her man's left home and her money's tight |
| But she knows in heart everything's gonna be alright |
| Cause she's got a good church, she believes in prayer |
| And the next thing you know the preacher's standing there |
| At her door, with a little bit of help from those who care |
| [REPEAT CHORUS] |
| [VERSE 3] |
| There's a young man growing up in poverty |
| He believes some day that he's gonna break free |
| Wants to go to school, wants to have a family |
| So he does what's right, stays away from wrong |
| takes a second job working all night long |
| He knows it won't be easy, but he's gotta be strong |
| [REPEAT CHORUS] |
| Cause he has faith and he believes |
| That the good Lord's gonna meet his needs |
| And he tries real hard despite the things he sees |
| His life is rough, but he looks around |
| Helps out those a little further down |
| And what he gives is what he will receive |
| You just gotta believe |
