Oh, I hand them this life   To do what they will   They've got to find their way from here   Oh, show us the way   If they only knew   Oh, show us the light   Show them what light?   It shines from within   You make your own day   You make your own night   And sometimes you win   Oh, show us the way   But you always get through   Oh, show us the light      Oh, why do they come and ask for more?   They've got stars they don't have wishes for   They're just givin' up their blame to me   How do the fools survive?      I'm wonderin' why, I'm wonderin' how   They're gonna bail themselves out now   Oh, give us this day   I'm shakin' my head   Oh, keep us through night      Oh, I hand them this life   To do what they will   They've got to find their way from here   Oh, show us the way   If they only knew   Oh, show us the light      Oh, why do they come and ask for more?   They've got stars they don't have wishes for   They're just givin' up their blame to me   How do the fools survive?      It's not like it was before   When they call I won't come running   It was so long ago   I left them on their own   Oh, how do the fools survive?
