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. 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 that I just won't know. Show me the way, show me the way. Take me tonight to the mountain And wash my confusion away. 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. Show me the way . . . Every night I say a prayer In the hope that there's a heaven . . .
