Lyrics

NEED TO SHOW


1ST: WELL I FIND AS THE YEARS GO BY, I?M STILL SEARCHING AND I DON?T KNOW WHY. WELL IF THE ANSWERS ARE PLAIN AND CLEAR, WHY IS THE TRUTH WHAT WE FEAR. WHAT COULD I SAY TO YOU, TO HELP YOU SEE WHAT I?VE BEEN THROUGH? I?VE TRIED TO DO MY BEST, DISREGUARD MY FEELINGS FORGET THE REST. BUT ONLY A MATTER OF TIME CAN HEAL YOUR WOUNDS AND THEN YOU?LL FIND. WHERE EVER YOU MAY GO, IT?S HIS LOVE THAT?S IN YOU, YOU NEED TO SHOW.

2ND: I SEE THE CHILDREN ON A CORNER STREET, TIRED AND HUNGRY, NOTHING TO EAT. TELL ME PEOPLE DO WE REALLY CARE, WHY DOES IT SEEM SO UNFAIR. SAY OLD MAN IN THE SOUP LINE, WHAT?S YOUR PLEASURE, WHAT?S IT THIS TIME. YOU SAY NOT SO LONG AGO, YOU HAD YOUR DREAMS, BUT NOW YOU?RE OLD. NEVER HAD THE WIFE AND KIDS, BUT DEEP DOWN NOW YOU WISH YOU DID. NEVER TOOK A CHANCE ON LOVE, AND YET YOU WONDER IF YOU?LL EVER GET ENOGH. ENOUGH OF THE LOVE.

CHORUS: I?M ASKING YOU, WOULD IT BE TRUE, TO SAY YOU NEED LOVE LIKE WE ALL DO. AND IF I SAY, YOU COULD HAVE TI TODAY, WELL GRAB GOD?S HOLY HAND AND YOU?RE ON YOUR WAY. YOU?RE ON YOUR WAY.

3RD: AND AS I LOOK AROUND THROUGH THIS TOWN, THERE?S NOT A HAPPY SOUL TO BE FOUND. BUT I KEEP TRAVELING ALONG THE WAY, PEOPLE KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT REFUSE TO SAY. SAY MR. MONEY MAN YOU BELIEVE THIS ANSWER?S IN YOUR HAND. YOU JUDGE BY HOW THEY LOOK, HAVE YOU EVER READ THE GOLDEN BOOK. YOU?RE LIFE IS SO CAREFREE AND MONEY COMES SO EASILY. YET IT?S SAD FOR ME TO SEE, YOU?RE A PRISONER WHO REALLY THINKS HE?S FREE. THINKS HE?S FREE.

CHORUS:

SOLO
