Show Me the Way Lyrics
And I opened up
When the sheriff came
In my father's name
And I took the fall
For my brothers’ shame
Would you do the same?
When I see red
I put a handgun
Under my pillow
When I see blue
I put a blanket
Over my window
Please show me the way to help
Show me the way to love you
For real
The smokers came
Through the sugar cane
With the burning cross
You’ll forget me not
When you wipe away
All the holy pain
When I see red
I feel a power
For no reason
When I see blue
I think of nothing
That lasts forever
Please show me the way to help
Show me the way to love you
For real
Show me now
'Cos I’m still learning
It’s all or nothing
Show me the way to love you for real
When the sheriff came
In my father's name
For my brothers’ shame
Would you do the same?
I put a handgun
Under my pillow
I put a blanket
Over my window
Show me the way to love you
For real
Through the sugar cane
With the burning cross
When you wipe away
All the holy pain
I feel a power
For no reason
I think of nothing
That lasts forever
Show me the way to love you
For real
'Cos I’m still learning
It’s all or nothing
Show me the way to love you for real
