paroles de chanson Give Me a Sign - Remo Fernandes

Lord, I set out with nothing, no clue
Just a blind trust in you – so why am I blue?
Tell me, was I mistaken?
What could have shaken
This over-confident cockatoo?
There is so much I set out to do
But I feel like an old worn out shoe
There's too many to care for
They have too much to ask for
Have I bitten off more than I can chew?
What can one lone inexperienced woman do?
Mother Superior, your words are ringing so true
Oh, how I long for Loretto – this is a zoo
The slums, multiplying
Resources, terrifying
No food, no water, no loo
I'm not alone, I know you are here with me
But Lord, I have only two hands
I need more, or I'll turn around and flee
Have I misunderstood you
Was I meant to do things differently?
Give me a sign, I need a sign
Is this where you really want me?
Put me through filth, I don't care
Put me through poverty, I don't care
Put me through sickness
As you are my witness
I'll bear it all, I don't care
But there is only so much I can do
I'm tough and strong – but I'm not You!
Teach me how to cope, Lord
Give me some hope, Lord
I need you to give me a clue
Lord, I stopped at some convent
On a beautiful uptown street
I was so weak and so hungry
I asked them for something to eat
Oh, they didn't let me in
They could smell slum on my feet
They sent me to the back door
To beg at the kitchen door
I ate with the dogs on the floor
Oh I don't mind humiliation
But I cannot bear my stagnation
They say well begun is half done
So why am I back to square one?
I'll carry on what I've started
I'll run the course that you've charted
I shall keep my vow
But I don't know how
Please tell me what to do
I'll do it alone
I'll work to the bone
But I wish we were at least two
Give me a sign
Lord, give me a sign
Won't you tell me what to do
Please give me a sign
Lord give me a sign
Won't – you – give
Me a sign?
Oh, Lord... give me a sign
