Show Me The Way Lyrics

   "Show Me the Way" by Styx
    from Edge of the Century 
    lyrics by Dennis DeYoung

Every night I say a prayer in the hope that there's a heaven
But 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
please 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
bring me tonight to the mountain and take my confusion away
and 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 they way
Give me the strength and the courage to believe that I'll get there someday
And please show me the way
And every day I say a prayer in the hope that there's a heaven
