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 .

D G D G – D – G – D – G
please , show me the way .

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 theres 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 weve so far to go ,

D G A D G Em A
and i keep on hoping for a sign , so afraid that i just wont know .
