Show Me
Brennan Moya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn into strangers
There's dust around my eyes
Watch the blind man
Won't stumble
Tell me no more lies
Show me the way
Please, show me the way
To find you
Show me the way
To hear your song
Touch my hand
Tiny stranger
How far the mist, I'm blind
Touch the tombstone
Won't crumble
Tell me one more time
Show me the way
Where I belong
Please, show me the way
To find you
Show me the way
To hear your song
Show me the way
Where I belong
Please, show me the way
To find you
Show me the way
To hear your song
The lyrics to Brennan Moya's song "Show Me" are filled with deep emotion and heartfelt pleas for guidance and direction. The first stanza describes a feeling of isolation and disconnection from the world around the singer. The crowd around them has become nothing but strangers, and dust is clouding their vision. The image of a blind man who won't stumble emphasizes the sense of uncertainty and fear in the singer's life. The line "tell me no more lies" suggests a desire for honesty and transparency in their relationships and interactions with others.
The chorus is an appeal for help and guidance. The singer is lost and searching for a sense of belonging and purpose. They are asking for someone to show them the way, to help them find their path and to connect with the world and the people around them. The repetition of the line "show me the way" emphasizes the urgency of this need.
The second stanza adds to the emotional depth of the song. The image of the "tiny stranger" suggests a sense of vulnerability and fragility. The mist around them is blinding, but the singer is reaching out in the hope of finding some kind of connection. The idea of touching a tombstone that won't crumble suggests a sense of permanence and stability that the singer is seeking. The repeated plea for help and guidance echoes throughout the song, highlighting the depth of the singer's need for connection and purpose.

@James Venables Yes she had difficult time and she said that she came to GOD, Jesus Christ, after that time.
Jesus Christ, GOD, is not a religion. Not all who talk about Jesus actually know Him, in fact there are a lot of deceivers that take the truth and turn it into a religion, like the Pope, Catholic churches or most popular churches. They do not know Him.
This song is about GOD, and she believes in Him. Who can tell you no more lies apart of Jesus Christ? No one.
"Watch the blind man won't stumble" - Because Jesus heals the blind.
"Show me the way to hear your Son"
Yes it might sound as "song" but it's not, it's "Son". It's meant to be this way in my opinion. She asks Him to show her the way.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am THE WAY, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)
Jesus Christ is the ONLY WAY.
This heart touching song influence many people, this song is truly inspired from Heaven. Very few songs can be like this, it will not compare to any "new age" songs. So it inspired many who are unbelievers including me, I didn't believe and I didn't truly understand what this song is, which helped me to get through really tough times in my life, until not long ago, and it surprised me, though not so much as if I "knew" that it's true all along.
I listened to Moya Brennan music since I was about 14 years old (I'm 28 now), before I even had a clue about what truly Jesus Christ has done for us: He died on the cross for all our sins, and on 3rd day rose from the grave!
So you shall get forgiveness of sins and eternal life when you believe He died for you.
So again I say it was amazing to realize what Moya Brennan sang about all the time
and how GOD does works in our lives and leading us to Him without us noticing it! Like through Moya and her beautiful voice and music inspired by Holy Spirit. It is a gift from GOD.
GOD bless you and keep you safe James!!

One of her best. I have been following her since I first heard Clannad's "In a Lifetime" played on the radio in 1986. Such a powerfully calming voice.

Moya is so underrated. What a shame. The whole family are very talented, but Máire is the most amazing talent.

It might be since she chose to focus on Celtic music vs. the broader sound of her sister Enya?

@Mymy Almog Brennan has stated this song is about rediscovering herself after a difficult period in her life. She emerged from that period a better person and a more committed Christian but the song is not about God or Christianity. It is about her own life path.

@Mymy Almog Moya became a Christian and made a couple very beautiful Christian CDs.

@The strength within Moya actually sings about God... Jesus Christ. Listen carefully to what she sings... God bless you!
