"Devil By My Side" as written by and David/wong Usher....
Believe in hope,
Believe in faith,
Believe in things I can't fight,
Believe in truth,
Believe in slavery,
But it's only the television kind,
Believe that light will find a way,
Believe in jets as they blow into the sky
Believe in you, believe in me,
And all of these things,
Devil by my side,
And the freaks are out we're in force tonight,
And you opened me wide,
Cause it's cold in there and it's warm outside
Believe that hate will never die,
Believe in sex and love in a dangerous time,
Believe in grace and your intelligence,
Believe in exploring the corners of the mind,
Believe your truth is not my truth,
That God can exist with many faces at one time,
Believe that we will find a way through all of these things,
Devil by my side,
And the freaks are out we're in force tonight,
And you opened me wide,
Cause it's cold in there and it's warm outside,
Hard when you realize that you'll never have what you're trying to find.
Believe in faith,
Believe in things I can't fight,
Believe in truth,
Believe in slavery,
But it's only the television kind,
Believe that light will find a way,
Believe in jets as they blow into the sky
Believe in you, believe in me,
And all of these things,
Devil by my side,
And the freaks are out we're in force tonight,
And you opened me wide,
Cause it's cold in there and it's warm outside
Believe that hate will never die,
Believe in sex and love in a dangerous time,
Believe in grace and your intelligence,
Believe in exploring the corners of the mind,
Believe your truth is not my truth,
That God can exist with many faces at one time,
Believe that we will find a way through all of these things,
Devil by my side,
And the freaks are out we're in force tonight,
And you opened me wide,
Cause it's cold in there and it's warm outside,
Hard when you realize that you'll never have what you're trying to find.

"Hard when you realize that you'll never have what you're trying to find."
The song is so much about life, and it's just gorgeous, the music, the lyrics, his voice!
"Believe that we will find a way through all of these things, " I think that line sums up the entire song.
He did an interview about War Child America on some show called "The Hour" I think... and they asked him about the issues in society today, and he said that he honestly believed that we would resolve those and that it was just a matter of people not wanting to change. In a society, particularly now, when everything's being turned upside-down and it seems as if the world is going to end, we just need to remember the other generations faced their own calamities and horros and like them, "we will find a way through all of these things."
"Believe in hope,
Believe in faith"
separate us and in the end we just need each other, "cold in there, warm out side". In other words, love.
