Show Me The Way
FREE-FOR-ALL Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We have these powers
To face the tears and fears we meet
We have these talents
And have these hopes and dreams to reach
I pray for courage
I pray for faith
Make every effort
Show me the way

Just hold my hand
Help me to see
These confirmations
That surround me
I’m tired of thinking about myself
I see the good in people, they mean well
I can’t find the words to explore the truth
But service serves as more than proof
Everyone’s kindness shines through
And I come to find it defines you
Now I see each person’s qualities
And I start to believe in equality
Can I play a part in progress?
And be patient with the process
Why does love give way to fear?
Why doesn’t difference draw us near?
I call on strength and call on courage
See confirmations as we flourish
Let me choose a noble goal, make every effort to grow my soul
We have these powers
To face the tears and fears we meet
We have these talents
And have these hopes and dreams to reach
I pray for courage
I pray for faith
Make every effort
Show me the way
Just hold my hand
Help me to see
These confirmations
That surround me
What lead to words, that were so unkind
She's got a pure heart, and a brilliant mind
Nur and I, we have always been close
Had me on track, when I needed it most
But now she's hanging out, with the girls next door
Our friendship isn't what, it was before
She has said words, that have caused me pain
I don’t know what I've done to deserve this change.
I gotta decide, what I need do to
Do I lose a friend, or a friend pursue?
I pray to God, please give me a clue
So I follow the path, that I know is true
Prayers inspire me, to do my part
I reach out to her, with an open heart
As we speak, I look into her eyes
The sun of friendship, begins to rise
Rise, oh rise up
Rise, oh rise up
Rise, oh rise up
Rise, oh rise up
Rise, oh rise up
Rise, oh rise up
Rise, oh rise up
Rise, oh rise up
We have these powers
To face the tears and fears
We have these talents
And have these hopes and dreams
I pray for courage
I pray for faith
Make every effort
Show me the way
Just hold my hand
Help me to see
These confirmations
That surround me
I pray for courage
I pray for faith
Make every effort
Show me the way
Just hold my hand
Help me to see
These confirmations
That surround me
I pray for courage
I pray for faith
Make every effort
Show me the way
Just hold my hand
Help me to see
These confirmations
That surround me
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way

Show me the way
Show me the way
