Odinah
Sho-odinah
Under, la la la la la la

Different kinds of people.
Different kinds of life.
We go walking towards the future,
With different size strides.

Show me the way to solve your sorrows
And I'll do what I can,
Cause we have the experience,
If we plan
Baby we can see that close

Show me the way to solve your problems and I'll be there,
Show me the way and I'll do what I can,
What can I say oh lately, what can I do?
I just can't stand losing,

Welcome to the new world,
Let me join your hand,
We go walking through the old world,
With a brand new plan.
All over,
God only knows how much I love you.
Give me a chance and I'll show the faith all over.
You will understand lady, if you change your mind.
Baby, only I know what you need.

Show me the way to solve your problems and I'll be there.
Show me the way and I'll do what I can.
What can I say oh lady, what can I do?
No I can't stand,
I just can't stand losing you.
Don't mean to take up your time baby.
I won't be stomping on your life.
I only wanted to make you see.

Oh that you,
Only you know what I need.
Then maybe I can take you higher,
Then maybe I can stop those tears, I can stop those tears,
Oh with you,

Sha da da da da n da

Show me the way to solve your problems and I'll be there.
Show me the way and I'll do what I can,
What can I say oh lady, what can I do?
I just can't stand losing,
Show me the way to solve your problems and I'll be there.
Show me the way and I'll do what I can,
What can I say oh lately, what can I do

No I can't stand,
I just can't stand losing you,

Losing you

Show me the way to solve your problems and I'll be there.
Show me the way to solve your problems and I'll call you.
Just show me the way to solve your problems and I'll be there.




Show me the way to solve,
I'll call you.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Seal's song "Show Me" talks about two people from different walks of life but who share a common goal of moving forward into the future. They each have their own set of problems and sorrows to handle, but they believe that together, they can work towards finding solutions and overcoming obstacles. The singer appeals to the love interest in the song to show him the way to solve her problems, and he promises to be there for her, providing support through her struggles. The chorus repeats the appeal for guidance while emphasizing the singer's inability to cope with losing her.


The song is a beautiful expression of hope and trust in a relationship that desires to grow and mature. It is about two characters who see past their differences and can empathize with each other on a basic human level. The song's use of repetition in the verses and catchy melody in the chorus make it a memorable tune that resonates with many different people.
