Lyrics

Show Me The Way
Ac 2007 Will Stanley

You're my big brother and I hope you will
Show me the way
And even though the tone is shrill
You show me the way
I agree it's time we had our day
Instead of conflict and strife
And since we bear the cost anyway
Someone must pay with their life
I always thought He represented love
You taught me that He loves hate
All it would take is a little shove
And I'll run through those gates.

You select the place and you make my plans
And you show me the way
You make the case for sacrificial lambs
No matter what I say
Cuz there's one thing that you dislike
As I prepare to die
It's the sounds of joy from the little tykes
And the dreams that stream from their eyes.
I always thought He embodies love
You taught me that He loves hate
All it would take is a little shove
And I won't run through those gates.

Instrumental

I approach the school and there's no turning back
The cadre knows where I am
Just another fool whose brain has been highjacked
But this fool won't do what's been planned.
How come we say His essence is pure love
And then teach anger and hate
Where is the message from up above
That starts us on the path to create.

So now I'm through with all your lies
You don't show me the way.
Your victimhood and all your alibis
I'm gonna throw them away.
You don't show me the way.
Cuz love shows me the way.
