Show Me The Way
Joshua Perahia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I call you
Will it ever be the same?
A voice that cries in the dead of the night, in vain
Fighting a war inside where only the strong survive
Cover me from the thunder and rain

Show me the way to your heart, take me back again
This feeling inside makes me want to fly high
Show me the way to your heart, say a prayer for me
This feeling inside makes me want to fly high

So lonely, somewhere in the night
I feel your eyes on me but you're nowhere in sight
Just like a loaded gun, aimed at the desperate one
You hold my life in the palm of your hand

Show me the way to your heart, take me back again
This feeling inside makes me want to fly high
Show me the way to your heart, say a prayer for me
This feeling inside makes me want to fly high

Show me the way to your heart, take me back again
This feeling inside makes me want to fly high





Show me the way to your heart, say a prayer for me
This feeling inside makes me want to fly high

I've spent days, catching up, seeing & HEARING so many more tunes than I ever knew Joshua made! I have not told one person about this tune, who has not asked "WHY was this not on, or when WAS it on the radio", that they missed it? UNBELIEVABLE! Great great tune!
