Give Me A Sign

entry picture

The days they keep on coming
The seconds they tick on by
Time it waits for no man
As the minutes and hours fly

The world it doesn't stop turning 
My life is nothing but an illusion
What can I believe in or trust
My head is clouded with confusion

Give me a sign today
Show me the way
I need some direction
Give me a sign
Take me by the hand
Just need a little affection
Give me a sign today
Show me the way

The years are flashing on by
I can't forget you no matter how I try
I thought I would be sad all the while
But your memory still makes me smile

I am running to stand still
I have the rest of my life to fill
At the crossroads the lights are on red
I need a green light enough said

I am going around in circles 
Nothing but empty do I feel
The here and now  is what I should embrace
The time has come for me to heal

Give me a sign right now
Show me the way anyhow 
I need some direction
Give me a sign
Take me by the hand
Just need a little affection 
Give me a sign today
Show me the way 

Give me a sign today
Shine your light on me okay
Show me the way
