Every night I say a prayer in the hope that there's a heaven And 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 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 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 hope that there's a heaven
