“Something to Believe In” is the first radio single to Young The Giant’s third studio album, Home of the Strange. “Amerika” was released as the first song from Home of the Strange, but it was used as an introductory single to help set up the album.

[Intro]
Hoo! Ha! Hoo!
Hoo! Ha! Hoo!
[Verse 1]
It gets old when you talk to the sun
In a tongue understood by no one
Can it be that I hear what he's saying?
Is there a reason why I'm still awake?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And he says, "I've got you written in a black book by the railroad track. You see, I know your fate." (Ooh)
And I say, "You've got to listen; I'm a songbird with a brand new track. You underestimate." (Oh, oh, oh!)
[Chorus 1]
I'll give you something to believe in (Ah-ah ah-ah)
Burn up a basement full of demons (Oh-oh oh-oh)
Realize you're a slave to your mind, break free
Now give me something to believe in
Just give me (Ah-ah ah-ah)
Just give me something to believe in
[Verse 2]
Everyday when I speak to the moon
Pale as a ghost in the afternoon
Tragedy has a hold of my mind
But I can see the light between the lines
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I say, "You've got to listen; I'm a songbird with a brand new track. You underestimate."
[Chorus 2]
I'll give you something to believe in (Ah-ah ah-ah)
Burn up a basement full of demons (Oh-oh oh-oh)
Realize you're a slave to your mind, break free
Now give me something to believe in
[Bridge]
(Oh-oh oh-oh) Promise me
(Oh-oh oh-oh)
See, I'm afraid— I'm a slave to my mind
You give me something to believe in
[Pre-Chorus 1]
"I've got you written in a black book by the railroad track. You see, I know your fate." (Mm)
And I say, "You've got to listen; I'm a songbird with a brand new track. You underestimate."
[Chorus]
I'll give you something to believe in (Ah-ah ah-ah)
Burn up a basement full of demons (Oh-oh oh-oh)
Realize you're a slave to your mind, break free
Just give me something to believe in
Just give me
Just give me something to believe in
