Intro – Show Me the Way

Dennis DeYoung

[Intro] (spoken / time = 0:53)
This next song I actually wrote in 1990. I wrote it for my son Matthew. And, uh, yeah. And by the way Matthew and his friend Cameron Zetty, this good man, they designed the lighting and they're running all the lights tonight
Applause
I wrote this for him in 1990 and then about six months later a fellow named Chris Taylor put a bunch of sound bytes, when the House Of Representatives was debating whether or not to send troops to the Gulf, in the first Gulf War. And, uh, became associated with that so I would like to play it for the family and friends of, uh, all the families who uh, who have people who're serving in the military
Applause

[Verse 1]
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 sinners

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Please show me the way

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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 I just won't know

[Chorus]
Show me the way, show me the way
Bring me tonight to the mountain
And take my confusion away
And show me the way

[Bridge]
And if I see a light, should I believe
Tell me how will I know

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Every night I say a prayer
In the hopes that there's a Heaven
