Something To Believe In — Background

“With “Something To Believe In” I wrote that late at night after a friend (James Kimo Maano, a security guard and best friend of Bret Michaels) of mine passed away a couple of Christmas’ ago.

I was at my mom’s house for Christmas when we got the call and it was late at night. That really affected,” he says as his voice trails off.

The song emphasizes several different things, such as the televangelism scandals, the thoughts of a Vietnam veteran and how he can never seem to shake the memories of “a war he can’t forget,” the recent death of a friend, and seeing the homeless on a street at night, dimly lit by a neon sign that once spelled out “Jesus Saves” and how it seems that the lessons of yesterday are forgotten on the world of today.

… “My best friend died a lonely man …

… In some Palm Springs hotel room …

… I got the call last Christmas Eve …

… And they told me the news …

… I tried all night not to break down and cry …

… As the tears rolled down my face …

… I felt so cold and empty …

… Like a lost soul out of place …

… And the mirror, mirror on the wall …

… Sees my smile it fades again …
