Song By Styx

"show me the way"

Every night i say a prayer, in the hopes 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 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
Take me tonight to the mountain and take my confusion away
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 i'll get there someday
Show me the way

And every night i say a prayer, in the hopes that there's a heaven...




Pray not for thyself
pray for others
For the world is a whole lot sadder
then my world had ever been
i've seen much, but there's still alot i've not
so i'll just keep on tryin, and build this heaven for others
not with saints nor clay celestial gods, but my own will and shodden two hands
