Evening comes, a child wakes up again
He calls another's name, that is far away

First time out, hopes left high and dry
But the streets are too wild
For childhood games

Show me the way, as the darkness falls
Show me the way, tonight
Light up the way, been gone too long
Show me the way, tonight

Boy leaves home, steals his father's gun
Lookin' to outrun, he's gotta justify

Hungry blue eyes,he's got only dimes
Can't afford to pay, the price is too high

Show me the way, as the darkness falls
Show me the way, tonight
Light up the way, been gone too long
Show me the way, tonight

You need the road you walked way back then
Need to break out, to come back again
'Cause there's a reason, that's all there is

Night falls down, on a thousand lonely lies
Someday the sun will shine, after the rain

Show me the way, as the darkness falls
Show me the way, tonight
Light up the way, been gone too long
Show me the way, tonight
Show me the way
