Hi, I have had a song in my head for about 10 years and I've never been able to remember what it is, so if anyone can help me I will be eternally grateful! Think it was an indie type track from the 90s, with some lyrics along the lines of '7 years of mental tears but i think i remember her name' or something.... Thanks in advance! :-)

i can't remember the name of the song

Funeral hymn

Well I see him on the TV
Preaching about the promised land
he tells me believe in Jesus
steals the money from my hands
some say he was a good man
Lord I think he sinned.... yeah

Twenty two years of mental tears
cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war
on a foreign shore
to find his country didn�t want him back
their bullet took his best friend in Saigon
our lawyers took his wife n kids no regrets
In a time I don�t remember
in a war he cant forget
he cried �forgive me for what I done there
Cause I never meant the things I did�

Chorus
and give me something to believe in
if there�s a lord above
and give me something to believe in
oh, lord arise

My best friend died a lonely man
in some Palm Springs hotel room
I got the call last Christmas Eve
and they told me the news
I tried all night not to break down n cry
as the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold n empty
like a lost soul out of place
and a Mirror mirror on the wall
sees my smile it fades again

Chorus
and give me something to believe in( I give me something to believe in)
if there�s lord above
and give me something to believe in ( I give me something to believe in)
Oh, lord arise

Sometimes I wish to God I didn�t know now
things I did know then,
Road you gotta take me home

solo

I drive by the homeless
sleepin� on a cold dark street
like bodies in a open grave
underneath the broken old neon sign
used to read �Jesus saves�
A mile away way live the rich folk
and I see how they�re livin� it up
but while the poor they eat from hand to mouth
the rich are drinkin� from a golden cup
and it just makes me
