Show Me to the Light
Finding Light in the Heart of a Broken Town
Lyrics
This old town’s built like a little girl’s heart
This old town’s structure resembles the innocence of a young girl's heart.
It’s her father’s love that sets her apart
The town stands out due to the love provided by her father.
And her mother had a dream, had a dream she’d live forever (live forever)
Her mother had a dream of eternal life.
But her brother had a gun, lord, and he ain’t that clever (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Her brother, not wise, possesses a gun.
You can run to the church, start screaming “Hallelujah” (Hallelujah)
Seeking refuge in the church, shouting "Hallelujah" may not offer a solution.
If I thought that would make much sense to ya
If such actions don't make sense, there's a problem with the world.
Something wrong with the world, don’t know what it is
An acknowledgment that something is wrong with the world, though undefined.
But we got to get back to the love that we give, yeah
Emphasis on returning to the love we give as a remedy.
I’ve been running with the devil too long
Admission of being influenced negatively for a prolonged period.
And I need joy, joy, joy to get me out of this funk
Expressing the need for joy to overcome a difficult situation.
Somebody picked me up off of my back
Request for support and uplifting from a challenging situation.
And tell me how much love do you need after that
Questioning the amount of love required after experiencing hardship.
There’s got to be more than this
Expressing a belief that life has more to offer than the current state.
There’s got to be more than this
Repetition of the idea that there must be more to life.
There’s got to be more than this
Continued emphasis on the belief that life has greater depth.
There’s got to be more than this - lemme hear the voices sing
Encouraging others to join in the expression of this belief.
There’s got to be more than this
Reiteration of the idea that life has more to offer.
There’s got to be more than this
Continued emphasis on the belief in a richer life experience.
There’s got to be more than this
Repeating the conviction that life holds greater meaning.
There’s got to be more than this
Further reinforcement of the belief in a more profound life.
There’s got to be more than this
Reiteration of the belief in a life that goes beyond the current state.
There’s got to be more than this
Emphasizing the conviction that life is more expansive.
There’s got to be more than this
Repeating the belief that life has greater depth and meaning.
There’s got to be more than this
Reiterating the conviction that life offers more than the current experience.
