about

'Give Me A Sign' is the fifth track from 'When All Else Fails' by Chris Ward. It was originally released on the Tell Yourself EP in 2013.

This song is about a priest asking God for help. He asks for a sign to guide him on to the right path, and when he hears no answer from above he begins to lose faith in everything he once believed in.

lyrics

Verse 1
Watching and waiting but always mistaking
The signs for the things that I feel
Hearing the voices and making bad choices
Tell me that this isn’t real
Righting the wrongs and then speaking in tongues
Please don’t deny what I see
Choosing a path so I don’t feel your wrath
Next time you’re coming for me

Pre-Chorus
Show me the way, show me the light
Let me know what I can do
Show me the way, show me the light
Let me know what I must do

Chorus
Are you listening? I need help!
Can you give me a sign?

Verse 2
Plotting and scheming but I’m always dreaming
Of ways to get all that I crave
Sneaking around without making a sound
And hiding when I should be brave
I know at a glance that I should take a chance
Instead of the easy selection
To follow my fate rather than wait
To find my one true direction

Repeat Pre-Chorus & Chorus

Verse 3
Ranting and raving and never behaving
The way that they say that I should
I’m always learning I never stop yearning
For answers so I can be good
But am I mistaken it seems I’m forsaken
Punished for being out of line
How long must I wait to learn of my fate
Lord can you give me a sign?

Repeat Pre-Chorus & Chorus
