1. Every night I say a prayer, in the hopes that there's a heaven,
    D        G        A     D            Bm      G         A
but every day I'm more confused as the saints turn into sinners.
            Bm         D         Bm        E
All the heroes and legends I knew as a child,
          G        D        A
have fallen to idols of clay,
          D      G         A    D           G          Em          A
and I feel this empty place inside, so afraid that I've lost my faith.
            D    G                  D     G
Show me the way,        show me the way !
        D          F#m           Bm      A          Em     A
Take me tonight to the river and wash my illusions away.

please, show me the way.
       D      G    A         D          Bm      Em        A
2. And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred,
     D      G          A           D         Bm       G           A
I close my eyes and know there’s peace in a world so filled with hatred.
               Bm         D         Bm          E
That I wake up each morning and turn on the news,
         G              D            A
to find we’ve so far to go,
       D         G      A       D        G      Em                 A
and I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid that I just won’t know.
D    - G                          D     - G
Show me the way,        show me the way !
