Believers

On my way to work this morning I was flipping around the radio stations and landed on a song I had never heard before. I used to be a huge fan of country, I still like it a lot, but I hardly ever listen to it anymore. This song is really simple but says so much.

Believers - Joe Nichols
Outside the courthouse on 5th and vine
There's a hundred people holdin' up their homemade signs
They say they'll be there sunshine or rain'
Till somebody listens, 'till somethin's changed

Believers
Believers
They got a little more faith than the world has doubt
The earth might shake, but they stand their ground
And God only knows where we'd be without
Believers

They were a couple o' kids with cheep wedding bands
They didn't have nothin' but big ole plans
Thirty five years later, they're still goin' strong
Aw, but they're not surprised, they knew it all along

Believers
Believers
They got a little more faith than the world has doubt
The earth might shake, but they stand their ground
And God only knows where we'd be without
Believers

Eighty nine years old and a momma still prays
That her wayward son will find his way
There's a telephone call that makes her cry
Its her son sayin' momma I've seen the light
Aww, everybody told her she was wastin' her time

Believers
Believers
They got a little more faith than the world has doubt
The earth might shake, but they stand their ground
And only God knows where we'd be without
Without believers

Hmm, Believers
