Question
Hi there, I have not heard this song in a long time but it starts out like this:  Every night I say a prayer in the hopes that there's a heaven.  Every day I'm more confused as the saints turn into sinners.
Can you help with the name and the artist?  Thanks

Answer
Hello Felicia,

Here's your song......


"SHOW ME THE WAY" by Styx

Every night I say a prayer
In the hope that theres a heaven
And every day I'm more confused
As the saints turn into sinners
All the heroes and legends I knew as a child
Hve fallen to idols of clay
And I feel this empty place inside
So afraid that I've lost my faith

Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the way

And as I slowly drift to sleep
For a moment dreams are sacred
I close my eyes and know theres peace
In a world so filled with hatred
That I wake up each morning
And turn on the news to find we've so far to go
And I keep on hoping for a sign
So afraid that I just wont know

Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the mountain
And take my confusion away

And if I see a light, should I believe
Tell me how will I know

Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the way, show me the way
Give me the strength and the courage
To believe that I'll get there someday
Show me the way

Every night I say a prayer
In the hope that theres a heaven...


Glad to be of help. Cheers........Mel.
