Lyrics
Every night I say a prayer
In the hope 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
Then 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 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 your 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
