JUST LOOKING FOR A SIGN
Everyone has their gods that keeps them
on a path.
If they veer off this road they are
told to expect his wrath.
Which god is right, I just can’t make
up my mind.
I’m not asking for much . . . I’m just
looking for a sign.
People say there is a heaven and a
hell.
I don’t know if there’s a heaven, but
hell, I know it well.
If this is all there is, then life’s
end would be so unkind.
I want to know if death is a new
journey . . . I’m just looking for a sign.
One day doing something is wrong and
the next day it’s right.
One page says we should turn the other
cheek and another says we should stand and fight.
Some things we are meant to know and to
other’s we are blind.
What’s right and what’s wrong . . . I’m
just looking for a sign.
There are things in your mind that you
know to be true.
There are things in my mind that are
different from you.
I don’t believe in your truth and you
don’t believe in mine.
I want to know the real truth . . . so
I’m just looking for a sign.
Some say they’ve seen ghost from the
past.
Some ghosts just linger and some have a
task.
Some come back just to say they’re fine.
I’ve never seen anything . . . I’m just
looking for a sign.
I know there’s a direction that’s right
and a direction that’s wrong.
Sometimes you can find your way in the
words of an old song.
I want to know the truth about what
happens at the end of our time.
The answers out there somewhere . . .
I’m just looking for a sign.
I found a love that seems so right.
I found someone to hold me all through
the night.
I have someone that makes the chaos of
life rhyme.
Is this love right or is this love
wrong . . . I’m just looking for a sign.
I think maybe we’re just the fruit of
the vine.
So I’m sitting here sipping on a glass
of wine.
As the length to the day and the
spirits of my glass begin to intertwine,
I look through my blurry eyes and it
all becomes clear . . . I think I see a sign.
