Sometimes in life we need a helping hand to get through the rough stuff, this song is about asking for that help!

Written by Paul Coates.

Show Me A Light

I`ve been roundin` corners and turnin` bends
Stuck in a middle that begins where it ends
I`ve been upside down, and inside out
Just lookin` for clues, wonderin` what it`s all about.

I`ve been drowned at the bottom of a wishin` well
Shot down in flames and it hurt like hell
I`ve been flyin` around, on a wing and a prayer
I`ve been sadder than a king, richer than a millionaire

And in the night without any sound
I get lost and I get found
Walkin` in my sleep and sleepin` in my shoes
With nothing to win and nothing…. to lose.

When black is white and white is grey
Daytime is night and nightime is day
I`ve been holdin` out, but holdin` it in
I`ve been lost and found, then lost again.

And in the night without any sound
I get lost and I get found
Walkin` in my sleep and sleepin` in my shoes
With nothing to win and nothing…. to lose.

I`ve been listenin` to myself and hearin` lies
Playin` with the truth so it aint no surprise
I`ve been doin` alright but doin` it all wrong
I`ve been throwin` out the good and keeping` what don’t belong.

So throw me a line and give me a hand
Help me to walk and I`ll make a stand
Just show me your light, and I`ll show you mine
Oh show me a light, I`ll make it shine.

And in the night without any sound
I get lost and I get found
Walkin` in my sleep and sleepin` in my shoes
With nothing to win and nothing…. to lose.

Considering this is Paul and "The Chosen Few"... Few have Chosen to add them to stations. This is SAS's second, so obviously we are fans. The compelling factor is definitely those clever lyrics. This one is crammed with opposites, twisted ideas... and Paul is so very clear with his vocals. Sure, basically this is just another Country band, but we think it goes beyond that cliche. We've "seen the light" guys !
