Show Me Lyrics
Oh... oh...
I realize as I lay down to sleep, we haven't spoke in weeks
So many things that I'd like to know...
Come have a talk with me
I need a sign, something I can see
Why all the mystery?
I try not to fall for make-believe, but what is reality?
Where do we go, what do we know?
Life has to have a meaning
Show me the light, show me the way
Show that you're listening
Show me, that you love me
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me, heaven's watchin over me
Guess it's funny how I say thanks to you for all you've given me
Sometimes the price of what you gave to me,
I can't stop questioning
Oh God of love, peace, and mercy, why so much suffering?
I pray for the world, it gets worse to me
Wonder if you're listening...
When people go, why do they go?
Why don't you choose me?
But someday i'll know that i'm gonna go
I hope you're waiting for me
Show me that you love me
Show nme that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me, heaven's watching over me
oh...
Show me... Oh... Oh... Show me...
Maybe we'll talk some other night
Right now I'll take it easy
Won't spend my time waiting to die
Enjoy the life I'm living
Show me that you love me
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me, heaven's watching over me
Oh...
Show me that you love me
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me, heaven's watching over me
Oh...
I realize as I lay down to sleep, we haven't spoke in weeks
So many things that I'd like to know...
Come have a talk with me
I need a sign, something I can see
Why all the mystery?
I try not to fall for make-believe, but what is reality?
Life has to have a meaning
Show me the light, show me the way
Show that you're listening
Show me, that you love me
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me, heaven's watchin over me
Sometimes the price of what you gave to me,
I can't stop questioning
Oh God of love, peace, and mercy, why so much suffering?
I pray for the world, it gets worse to me
Wonder if you're listening...
Why don't you choose me?
But someday i'll know that i'm gonna go
I hope you're waiting for me
Show nme that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me, heaven's watching over me
oh...
Right now I'll take it easy
Won't spend my time waiting to die
Enjoy the life I'm living
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me, heaven's watching over me
Oh...
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me, heaven's watching over me
Oh...

This song I think is the most beautiful song on the new album. It makes me so sad inside. Its a christian take, but I look at it as someone who died, or someone he hasn't talked to in a while.
Damnit Chelsea, I fucking miss you. And you still have this hold on me.
I absolutely love this song. It gives me such peace and calm and helps me to feel a deeper spiritual connection each time I listen to it. His words are so clear and easy to follow, just questioning God and searching for answers. I feel like I can relate when I listen to this song and that John Legend has just taken the words out of my mouth and spit out all of my thoughts and questions right into this song. It's truly a piece of art.
about a guy who got dumped and spoiled his girl and she dumped him for no reason and hes just bin trippin for weeks
He is talking to GOD... listen to it that way and it makes sense
Obviously it is about God. Legend says so himself in an interview with Mojo: "It's supposed to solund like you're lying in bed, having a conversation with God".
God is relative in some sense.
it's about love and lost and his faith in god all in one.
i loveee this song also i think its about god but the video is soooooooooo awesome but sad at the same time about a boy that wanted to get out of a poor country and tried to sneek unders the planes wheels but died on his trip.soooo sad =(
Really...this song is about your GOD and how he is not there. It is all about the test of faith and how meaningless you believers are so quick to put it all in something that has and will never be proven. It is good to believe in something. It seems a lot of mortals need that to go on. Faith...inter strength...prayers meditation...the knowing...and the believing. When people realize that there is nothing but a control factor, then perhaps we can advance as a species.
John Legend wrote this song as "an homage" to Jeff Buckley. He said that Jeff was one of the few singers that intimidated him.
