I've been seeking what I couldn't find   Kindness in a woman whose heart wasn't kind   I've been praying for things I couldn't get   Forgiveness from a stranger and life among the dead      Please show me the way   Teach me all the things we used to say   Please show me the way   And bring me back the places and the faces gone astray      I've been searching for things I couldn't be   For flying ships on the horizon and airplanes in the sea   I've been wanting what I couldn't reach   For closeness in the distance and love without grief      Please show me the way   Teach me all the things we used to say   Please show me the way   And bring me back the places and the faces gone astray      I've been looking for things I couldn't see   For wonders in the darkness and angels over me      Please show me the way   Teach me all the things we used to say   Please show me the way   And bring me back the places and the faces gone astray
