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.
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!
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.
