Show the Way<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

By David Wilcox<\/a><\/p>\n

from Live Songs and Stories<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

You say you see no hope, you say you see no reason<\/p>\n

We should dream that the world would ever change<\/p>\n

You\u2019re saying love is foolish to believe<\/p>\n

\u2018Cause there\u2019ll always be some crazy with an Army<\/a> or a Knife<\/p>\n

To wake you from your day dream<\/a>, put the fear back in your life\u2026<\/p>\n

Look, if someone wrote a play just to glorify<\/p>\n

What\u2019s stronger than hate, would they not arrange the stage<\/p>\n

To look as if the hero came too late he\u2019s almost in defeat<\/p>\n

It\u2019s looking like the Evil side will win, so on the Edge<\/p>\n

Of every seat, from the moment that the whole thing begins<\/p>\n

It is\u2026<\/p>\n

Chorus:<\/p>\n

Love who makes the mortar<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s love who stacked these stones<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s love who made the stage here<\/p>\n

Although it looks like we\u2019re alone<\/p>\n

In this scene set in shadows<\/p>\n

Like the night is here to stay<\/p>\n

There is evil cast around us<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s love that wrote the play\u2026<\/p>\n

For in this darkness love can show the way<\/p>\n

So now the stage is set. Feel you own heart beating<\/p>\n

In your chest. This life\u2019s not over yet.<\/p>\n

so we get up on our feet and do our best. We play against the<\/p>\n

Fear. We play against the reasons not to try<\/p>\n

We\u2019re playing for the tears burning in the happy angel\u2019s eyes<\/p>\n

For it\u2019s\u2026<\/p>\n
