Show Me the Way

We’re so impatient,
We're so blind,
We’ve got to give it space,
We’ve got to make time,

And it’s never easy when your 9 to 5,
And it feels so hard,
To keep your dreams alive,

But ooh that’s just the way life is,
You can try to fight it,
But its always gonna win,
And you’ve got ambition,
You’ve got drive,
Might feel lke excuses,
But where’s the time,

Cause there’s expectations,
Another deadline,
And they keep on mounting,
And pile too high to climb,

But ooh that’s just the way life is,
You can try to fight it,
But its always gonna win,

It’s just the way life,
Not much to do about it,
But take it as it is,

Cause it’s like trying to stop the tide,
Trying to turn back the clock,
Like feeling you’re behind,
Even when you’re in front,
And you try to bring it up,
But feel like you’re shot down,
Like trying to fill your cup,
But the waters on the ground,
Already on the ground,

And you’re losing contact
With friends in your life
Cause it takes an army to take five,

But a day is dawning,
Hear the birds sing,
The traffics started moving,
What will today bring?

But ooh that’s just the way life is,
You can try to fight it,
But its always gonna win,
It’s just the way life,
Not much to do about it,
But take it as it is,

It’s like trying to stop the tide,
Trying to turn the clock,
Like feeling you’re behind,
Even when you’re in front,
And you try to bring it up,
But feel like you’re shut down,
Like trying to fill your cup,
But the waters on the ground,
Already on the ground,

And the best that you can do is hear the kookaburra when it sings,
And the laughter in its call,
And the joy that it brings,

The best you can do is hear the whistle of the doves wings,
And it’s song when it comes to rest,
Peace on earth,
Peace on earth,
Peace on earth.

There’s people around you but you don’t want to see them,
They’re interfering with a new found lifestyle,
Not eating or drinking,
Surrounded by blank walls,
Nobody’s talking cause,
Nobody’s listening,

Just sit back and watch all your close friends,
Watching them go too far,
Nothing that you can say that'll warn them,
Cause they're already there,
And It’s a sad sad world if nobody cares about how you’re going to be,
When you’re history,

You want to do something but you’re faced with rejction,
You want to do something but they’re there through their own choice,
Looking at stars now with a strange new perception,
You’re trying to warn them but you can’t even reach them,

Just sit back and watch all your close friends,
Watching them go too far,
Nothing that you can say that’ll warn them,
Cause they’re already there,
And it’s a sad sad world if nobody cares,
And it’s a sad sad world if nobody cares enough,
Cares to change their ways,
Sad sad world,

You’re tired of the fight now,
The sweets turned to poison,
You’re looking through trapped eyes,
And seeing no reason,
Light on horizon,
Like a ship guiding beakon,
Hold tight to the path now,
In darkness there’s nothing,

Just sit back and watch all your close friends,
Watching them go too far,
Nothing that you say that'll warn them,
Cause they're already there,
And It’s a sad sad sad sad world if nobody cares,
And It’s a sad sad sad sad world if nobody cares a bit,
About your next hit.

Long time ago,
I didn’t know where we were going but I,
I’d think about you every night,
Fantasize about tomorrow,
Tomorrow,

You were a light,
And I was darker than I’d been in my life,
You gave me thoughts,
Made me feel that tonight,
I could leave behind my shadow,
My shadow,

Well I’ve got a lot of love babe,
But it’s going to take time,
So you better just sit tight,
Til the morning,
Yeh baby just sit tight,
Til the morning,

Cause this night’s not over,
This night for us,
It’s going to last forever,
This nights not over,
I’m going to let you find me,
I’m going to find you girl,
I’m going to let you find me,
I’m going to find you girl,

You pulled me out when I was sinking,
There was never a doubt,
That time was ticking,
Nearly over and out,
I wouldn’t make it til tomorrow,
Tomorrow,

Then one twist of fate,
And it was all over,
No more mistakes,
A new beginning,
First time in my life,
I’m looking forward to tomorrow,
Tomorrow,

Well I’ve got a lot of love babe,
But it’s going to take time,
So you better just sit tight,
Til the morning,
Yeh baby just sit tight,
Til the morning,

Cause this night’s not over,
This night for us,
It’s going to last forever,
This nights not over,
I’m going to let you find me,
I’m going to find you girl,
I’m going to let you find me,
I’m going to find you girl,

Just a matter of time babe,
Gonna be alright,
I'm gonna believe babe,
In you and I,
All I know is the love that's around me,
It makes me wanna try,

I've got no reason to cry,
Cause I believe babe,
Deep inside,

All I know is the loves that's around me,
It makes me feel so high,
I could take to the sky babe,
Fly forever and ever,
Make it now or never,
Cause I've got to believe we can fly,
We can fly,

Ain't it funny sometimes just strangers,
Pin all their dreams on the next get together,
Sometimes might happen,
Sometimes might not,
One thing you've got to give,
Coming ready or not,
Is love,
Is love babe,
Is love,
Is love babe,

All I know is the loves that's around me,
It makes me feel so high,
I could take to the sky babe,
Fly forever and ever,
Make it now or never,
Cause I've got to believe,
We can fly,
We can fly,
We can fly,
We can fly,

Give love,
Give it,
Give it,
Give love babe,
Give love babe,
Give it

I know I know not a lot,
But I’m gonna use all the knowledge I’ve got,
I want to face it,
I wanna change,
Cause there’s too much pain going round,
Cycling in habits that crush people down,
A child feels it’s right,
They’re told that it’s wrong,
It’s no wonder that it’s so hard,
They don’t know what’s going on,

And oh it’s gonna go round and round,
Until we stop and face the lies,
Until we hurt until we cry,
Oh it’s gonna go round and round,
Til you and I stop the cycle,
Slow it down to look inside our lives to find,
A child’s point of view,

I wanna know about love,
How do we get it,
What should I do,
If you could write me a book,
I’ll pay great attention,
I’ll try to change my look,
I’ll take your aggression,
Take back what I said,
It’s all wrong it’s too hard,
I try to be kind but I’m back here again,

And oh it’s gonna go round and round,
Until we stop and face the lies,
Until we hurt until we cry,
Oh it’s gonna go round and round,
Til you and I stop the cycle,
Slow it down to look inside our lives to find,
A child’s point of view.

Can you show me the way,
I need your love to guide me,
Don't tell me you've got nothing to say,
You must know more than me,
I can't think of a time that compares,
To the changes around me,
I'm either falling or I'm standing on this air,
Can you tell me?

Cause everybody's running round,
All my friends are leaving town,
Is there something that they've found,
Can you tell me?
Everybody's running round,
Going north, west, east and south,
Is there something I'm without,
Can you tell me?

Can you show me the way,
I need your love to guide me,
Don't tell me you've got nothing to say,
You must know more than me,
I can't think of a time that compares,
To the changes around me,
I'm either falling or I'm standing on this air,
Can you tell me?

Cause everybody's running round,
All my friends are leaving town,
Is there something that they've found,
Can you tell me?
Feel like time is running out,
For me to try to work it out,
But I don't know what its about,
Can you tell me?

Stickers on the wall,
Strumming their guitars,
Watermarked and torn,
Faces of the past,
Hey child on the rise,
You dream with open eyes,
Now,
Shutters in the wind,
Rattle with the call,
Across the early dawn,
Light shifts across the floor,
Chances,
Your not a child anymore,
Your not a child anymore,
You’re travelling on and away,
Into the golden sun,
Reflections in your eyes,
T-shirts old and worn,
Faded bathed in light,
And now you’re feeling,
You’re riding now on the wind,
The wander now begins,
The ones you have,
Could not love you more,
They’re just happy that,
It’s time to travel on,
Time to set your course,
Time to cut the cord,
Was it for a time,
Was it for an age,
You played your part then woke to find,
The path lay out in front of you,
And something in your mind was lifting like a veil,
The road that led away,
Was now an open door,
Calling out,
To guide you on your way,
To the other side of dawn,
To a brighter side of day,
Last look on the rise,
Waiting now to find,
What’s beyond your dreams,
What’s beyond the light
Last look on the rise,
Waiting now to find,
What’s beyond your dreams,
What’s beyond the light,
Catch you riding on,
Catch you riding on,
