almost enough

verse 1
G C G
the church is small and falling down
G D
just like all of the rest of the town
G C G
the mine’s half broke and everybodys too poor
G D G
to do anything but praise the lord
C
for six days a week their lives are gloomy
G
but you wouldn’t know it sitting in that room
C
they sing songs of joy and prosperity
D
it’s almost enough to make you believe

chorus
G C G
well it’s almost enough to make you believe
G D
it’s almost enough to make you believe
G C G
blind faith is all you need
G D G
it’s almost enough to make you believe

verse 2
well she turned eighteen in a juvenile home
her mom is a drunk and her dad she’s never known
she’s worked twice as hard to stand half as tall
as all the spoiled brats who never knew they had it all
a mother to chase the monsters from her room
a father to keep her from growing up too soon
now she’s in college working on a degree
it’s almost enough to make you believe

chorus 2
well it’s almost enough to make you believe
it’s almost enough to make you believe
a flower can blossom from every bad seed
it’s almost enough to make you believe

verse 3
every day more and more casualties
the old man sniffs and turns off his tv
at the start of every day he raises a flag in his yard
at the start of every baseball game his hand’s on his heart
he knows more about war than you and me
lost some fingers and some friends on a beach in normandy
nothing gonna take his love for his country
it’s almost enough to make you believe

chorus 3
well it’s almost enough to make you believe
it’s almost enough to make you believe
every war we fight is to keep us free
it’s almost enough to make you believe

well it’s almost enough to make you believe
it’s almost enough to make you believe
it’s not enough for you and it’s not enough for me
it’s almost enough to make you believe
