Show Me the Way Lyrics

1. Every night I say a prayer, in the hopes that there's a heaven,
but every day I'm more confused as the saints turn into sinners.
All the heroes and legends I knew as a child,
have fallen to idols of clay,
and I feel this empty place inside, so afraid that I've lost my faith.
Show me the way, show me the way !
Take me tonight to the river and wash my illusions away.
please, show me the way.
2. And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred,
I close my eyes and know there's peace in a world so filled with hatred.
That I wake up each morning and turn on the news,
to find we've so far to go,
and I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid that I just won't know.
Show me the way, show me the way !
Bring me tonight to the mountain and take my confusion away !
and show me the way.
And if I see a light, should I believe ?
Tell me, how will I know !
+ instrumental = CHORUS lines 1 & 2
Show me the way, show me the way !
Take me tonight to the river and wash my illusions away.
Show me the way, show me the way !
Give me the strength and the courage,to believe that I'll get there someday.
and, please, show me the way.
+ Every night I say a prayer, in the hopes that there's a heaven,
