Every night I say a prayer
In the hopes that there's a Heaven
And everyday I'm more confused
As the saints turn into sinnersAll 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 faithShow me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Please show me the wayAnd 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 hatredThat 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 knowShow me the way, show me the way
Bring me tonight to the mountain
And take my confusion away
And show me the wayAnd if I see a light, should I believe
Tell me how will I knowShow me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions awayShow 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 wayEvery night I say a prayer
In the hopes that there's a Heaven
