Watch the performance HERE.
The song "Believe" by Brooks & Dunn is a powerful country ballad that deeply centers around themes of faith, loss, and spiritual hope. "Believe" tells the story of a young boy's friendship with an elderly neighbor named Old Man Wrigley, who shares his life story, including the loss of his wife and son. Despite these painful losses, Wrigley holds firmly to his Christian faith, believing he will be reunited with them in heaven.
The chorus sums up his conviction:
"I raise my hands, bow my head / I'm finding more and more truth / In the words written in red..."
These "words written in red" refer to the words of Jesus in red-letter Bibles, reinforcing the song's connection to Christian belief.
