Peter, Paul & Mary - Show The Way lyrics

You say you see no hope You say you see no reason we should dream That the world could ever change You say that love is foolish to believe 'Cause there'll always be some crazy With an army or a knife To wake you from your daydream Put the fear back in your life Look, if someone wrote a play Just to glorify what's stronger than hate Would they not arrange the stage To make it look as if the hero came too late He's almost in defeat It's looking like the evil side will win So on the edge of every seat From the moment that the whole thing begins It is... Love who makes the mortar And it's love who stacked these stones And it's love who made the stage here Although it looks like we're alone In this scene set in shadows Like the night is here to stay There is evil cast around us But it's love that wrote the play For in this darkness love can show the way So now the stage is set You feel your own heart beating in your chest This life's not over yet So we get up on our feet and do our best We play against the fear We play against the reasons not to try We're playing for the tears Burning in the happy angel's eyes For it's... Love who makes the mortar And it's love who stacked these stones And it's love who made the stage here Although it looks like we're alone In this scene set in shadows Like the night is here to stay There is evil cast around us But it's love that wrote the play For in this darkness love can show the way For in this darkness love can show the way
