I was just a kid
I needed answers
I found a screen
Promised adventure
Just as I thought
I had it all
I pulled the trigger
And nothing happened
I was in a dream
I was in heaven
I saw a god
I had a question
Opened my eyes
Fell out the sky
Tried to remember
But there was nothing
Then you gave me something
Something to believe in
Yeah you gave me something
Something to believe in
'Cause I was just a kid
I was just a kid
How'd it get like this?
And the story ends
But life goes on so
Like those before
And those to follow
Just when you thought
You knew it all
You find another
And then it happens
'Cause you gave me something
Something to believe in
Yeah you gave me something
Something to believe in
'Cause I was just a kid
I was just a kid
'Cause I was just a kid
And you gave me something
Gave my life a meaning
Yeah you gave me something
Something to believe in
'Cause I want something to believe in
Yeah I want something to believe in
