A group called Styx recorded this song, and notice a cry to know about heaven. However also notice that the distrust comes from "heroes and legends".
Every night I say a prayer
In the hopes that there's a Heaven
And everyday I'm more confused
As the saints turn into sinners
All the heroes and legends
I knew as a child have fallen to idols of clay
And I feel this empty place inside
So afraid that I've lost my faith
Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Please show me the way
And as I slowly drift to sleep
For a moment dreams are sacred
I close my eyes and know that there's peace
In a world so filled with hatred
That I wake up each morning and turn on the news
To find we've so far to go
And I keep on hoping for a sign
So afraid I just won't know
Show me the way, show me the way
Bring me tonight to the mountain
And take my confusion away
And show me the way
And if I see a light, should I believe
Tell me how will I know
Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the way, show me the way
Give me the strength and the courage
To believe that I'll get there someday
And please show me the way
Every night I say a prayer
In the hopes that there's a Heaven
Every follower of Jesus is observably imperfect and has feet of clay. So disregard any heroes and legends and cast your eyes upon Jesus, for in Him and Him alone is life and life everlasting.

Now if that isn't a wake up call to let our lights so shine among men that they might find their way to the light of the world--our Lord Jesus Christ. We need pray to the Lord of the harvest for workers, for the harvest is truly great. How did you find this song? Thanks for sharing.
Pastor, I heard this song when in high school but never really heard it until now. Sometimes you can find wisdom is the most unlikely places.
Although secular in nature, it does prove that thoughts about God are in everyone at one time or another.
kelli, I posted a reply to you back on the original post.
God Bless to all.

Always loved that song. Wouldn't it be great if the original writers changed the lyrics as a worship song? It would be really inspiring.
