Content
The song is a largely acoustic ballad accompanied by acoustic guitar and organ. Featuring lead vocals from Ronnie Dunn, the song describes the narrator's childhood encounter with an old man whom he calls "Old Man Wrigley". He tells in the first verse of he came to become friends with the old man after doing chores for him. Through conversation, he discovers that Old Man Wrigley's wife and son have both passed away, and then asks the man how he "keep [s] from going crazy". The old man then responds by saying that he will"see his wife and son in just a little while" because of his faith in God, as stated in the chorus:
:"I raise my hands, bow my head:"I'm finding more and more truth:"In the words written in red:"They tell me there's more to life:"Than just what I can see:"Oh, I believe"
In the second verse, the narrator tells of how he discovered that Old Man Wrigley died shortly after he moved off to college. After discovering this, he reflects on his memories of the old man, stating that he felt that the man deserved to go to Heaven ("If there was ever anybody deserved a ticket to the other side / It'd be that sweet old man…"). The song's bridge then finds the narrator asserting his own faith as well.
