Somebody Show Me The Way

Alt Folk
See that hill over yonder
Where the sun greets the day
That hill over yonder
Takes my breath away
 
I tried to climb that hill over yonder
I gave it everything I got
I climbed and I climbed that hill over yonder
But I never reached the top
 
CHORUS
Somebody show me a sign
Somebody call out my name
Somebody reach for my hand now
Show me the way
 
I can’t reconcile my disappointment
Got me stopped dead in my tracks
The moss grows thick all around me
Got no heart for another path
 
So I talk to the bluebird
She’s got nothing to say to me
She’s just wonderin’ what I’m doing here in this place
She’s not the only one, you see
 
CHORUS
Somebody show me a sign
Somebody call out my name
Somebody reach for my hand now
Show me the way
Somebody show me the way
 
I’ve been at a crossroads before
But this time’s different somehow
I could really use your help Lord
Seems like something’s running out
 
Don’t know if is hope or faith or both now
Could be I’m simply off course
I’m just waiting and listening
Got nothing left to force
 
CHORUS
Somebody show me a sign
Somebody call out my name
Somebody reach for my hand now
Show me the way
Somebody show me the way
