I just recently got sober almost 2 weeks now but the song I never really paid attention to it before I'm 70 years old my wife was murdered in 1980 I was a single parent most of my life and I haven't been able to cry , I've been holding on to my pain thank God he's rescuing me from myself I started acting just like the world the lyrics that says the saints have turned into sinners please show me the way. I met a woman at the VA in Portland Oregon a total stranger I saw her reading the Bible and I asked her would you read to me. I got a lot of work to do in my apartment it's so messy, but that's the least of my problems I forgot how good it feels to be real and honest and tell the truth . After I cry I feel so much better, I forgotten that God is so real change me. So I can love you and others better especially my children they're adults now and I live away from them now but I love them so much the song just talk to me in a way it should! Thank you God don't ever let me stop searching for you loving you, I hated words like obedience .now when you love somebody you listen to them. That's my prayer I am willing reading the word again❤
My son James Cotton is the little boy featured in this video, his father is Paul Cotton of Poco. James is now married and they are expecting twin girls in July. So very proud of him. Thank you to everyone who commented on this video. This was a very special day . Video directed by Michael Bay.
I was so blessed that God of long suffering let me hit my bottom and stay there until i prayed for help 🙏 that was 41 years ago and still clean and sober. ❤
So underrated, it's a damn shame what Styx did to Dennis.They wouldn't have made those successful hits if it weren't for Dennis's writing.I don't think Dennis ever got enough respect or recognition.
@@Chicago_CabbieI'm sure there is cause there's always 3 sides to a story.Dennis's side, Styx's side and the truth.I'm just sharing what I only know from what Dennis was saying in interviews about the guys from Styx.
Hello 👋 Dave How're you doing, it's been a long journey, and I'm nothing without amazing fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness, All love to you and yours ❤️
Nothing beats 70s 80s 90s music. Just done with such feeling and conviction and sang songs like it was the last song they would ever sing. So lucky to have witnessed the abundance of talent as a kid and teen and young adult during those 3 decades
@@ladywillow2961 i am so very sorry. My deepest heartfelt condos to you and your family. If you would like to be Facebook friends please let me know. Praying. Much love Mario goodguy cioli on Facebook. Have a beautiful day!
Same here but possibly for a different reasons. Our country has lost its values and we need good messages, good parents, and artists who aren't afraid of faith and morality.
Don't lose that faith that will show you the way. God finds a way if we let go and let God. Many years ago my mother gave me a plaque that says "God gives the best to those who leave the choice to Him." May God's blessings be yours!
Amen to that one. This is NOT a sing along tune because I am a singer and I can't get through it. That's ok. It's the kind of song you need when you just want to cry
My dad passed away yesterday and now I'm making a playlist with all the songs he loved and I remember him by. This is one of them. Thank you dad for showing me the greatest artists of all times. Loved, missed and never forgotten 🤘🔥❤
What a beautiful thing to do. Good luck with the project. Know that your Dad will be looking down on you the entire time and smiling. If you listen real hard he may just whisper a few songs you never knew about. ♥
I lost my husband of 33 years not long ago and my faith has been shattered and then I feel it again. This is and has always been one of my favorite STYX songs. 🙏🙏
@@misterninetyseven2898 Dennis and Tommy are similar to 🍎 and 🍊. Together they gave Styx the unique and special sound from this supergroup. But since the ousting of Dennis, Shaw and JY's refusal to perform the songs that Dennis and them together wrote as if they would ultimately erase his history and existence if given a chance. I hope before it is too late that they mend their feelings, set aside their petty differences and throw one final farewell performance for die hard fans like me!
@@misterninetyseven2898 TS is a douchebag. DDY started the band in 1962. TS came to the band in 1976. In 1999 he and JY kicked him out. 5-22-20 DDY releases his new album and on the same day TS releases a Led Zeppelin cover! If that isn't a true dochebaggery then nothing is!
The fact that a rocker, Dennis De Young talks about God and the condition of tbe world shows he is a deep person and that the world continues to need his music and lyrics because he reminds us of the most important things in life.
The fact that they ask for direction from the Divine shows that they are deep intellectually and deep spiritually. Our faith compels us to seek God's direction.
Hello 👋 rhchah How're you doing, it's been a long journey, and I'm nothing without amazing fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness, All love to you and yours ❤️
I recall a guest pastor at my church who preached a sermon that was directed at music, and musicians. He specifically targeted Styx as having a tremendous negative impact on young people. That happened in 1995. I had no clue then, nor now in 2019 what band of musicians he had listen to. This particular song should be sung in church. It has always amazed me that music is a target, an easy one for those who may listen yet are so unwilling to hear. Show me the Way is a lyrical masterpiece and DeYoung's passionate voice delivers the message to perfection. Excellent song.
Your pastor view regarding Styx is clearly noted. He is probably basing his opinion the fact that creator Dennis DeYoung derived the name of the rock group from the river travelled to hell for wayward and unbelieving souls against Jesus Christ. I am a born again Christian and a true lover of Christ. To this very day I have no problem with the music of Styx. This is why God Himself forgives all sinners!
@@jackiegreen9960 You may have forgotten but Styx in (1980-81) During the " Paradise Theatre" era was accused of have Satanic messages, when the songs were played backwards, and I believe QUEEN was one of the bands also accused along with Styx among others, this was before CABLE T.V but I remember the news was all over this back then, in 1983 Mr.Robotos theme was about CENSORSHIP, but more people spend time hating Dennis Deyoung, for that song but its ironic look at BIG TECH and what they are doing now, back in the day, I brushed off the backwards messages narrative as FAKE NEWS, and even Michael Jackson was talked about negatively by preachers, ( BLACK PREACHERS) during Thriller but it wasn't about his music having backwards messages, a lot of it was out of nonsense. If you ever watch the CAUGHT IN THE ACT live concert with Styx (1983 Kilroy was here tour) You'll see J.Y right before they do the song " SNOW BLIND" He actually addresses the accusations of SATAN MESSAGES in their songs and he strongly slammed the accusations.
First off, wanna take the time out to personally dedicate this song to what I had to go through three years ago, including having to lose my Mother in death, and even to mention that I also lost my Older brother too two in half years later after losing our Mother. And I have to say that this song has really gotten me through some very tough times. So I thank God for showing me the way to live again. RIP: To both my dear sweet Mother and Older brother. Everything that I did I did it just for you guys. And may we see each other again in Heaven.
Nearly 30 years ago, we were coming back from Desert Storm, and this was on the radio ... and it summed everything up for me. Dennis found Jesus, and I found hope. I listen to it again, now, hoping He will show Us the way, once again.
@@KD-ou9bm I agree with that comment because it seems like when a group gets someone that has such an individualized distinctive voice it is super hard to hear that band without that voice fronting for them Styx and Dennis journey and Steve Boston and Brad. Van Halen and David.
Who is still listening to this great song in 2022? It's the lyrics people listen to them it is so very relevant to what is going on today in our society
I listened to this song for the first time tonight and I was mesmerized. A beautiful song that humbly begs to understand God and to feel His presence. A longing that only Deyoung's haunting voice can express. This must be the starting point for any spiritual awakening...
@@danielmackenzie8549 I heard him sing last night at The Gallo Center for Performing Arts in Modesto, CA and he was still as “tight” as when a young man.Outstanding.
I definitely agree it's hard to find good clean positive music now in these days everything has to be so vulgar so much profanity it's disgusting. Or if it isn't that it's all that hard rock heavy metal growling which really annoys me. I can honestly say this is one of my favorite songs from styx .
Hello 👋 Jean Rock How're you doing, it's been a long journey, and I'm nothing without amazing fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness, All love to you and yours ❤️
DDy wrote this as a personal spiritual experience when he questioned his own long held beliefs and faith were starting to fade. It's a very heartfelt song
I am now the only one left in my immediate family. Lord, I pray that you will show me the way , in other words, what You would have me do with the rest of my life.
This song was the defining song for all of the military during Desert Shield / Desert Storm. Didn’t know what was about to happen and praying for the best.
Read Enoch to learn the other 2/3 of the supressed scriptures. Be free in Jesus and know the forebearers knew He was coming to redeem the world from sin and restore His protoplast creation in us all.
This is a 3 stage vid in my eyes. The innocence of childhood, learning what love looks like (newlyweds making love), and the effect of deep abiding love (the old man crying at his wife's grave). And then capped off by the appearance of the boys father, and the boys realization of deep love. Such an amazing song and video.
Styx was one of my favorite bands of the 80's. I always wanted Dennis to do a duet with Anne Wilson of Heart. In my opinion,she had the best female voice in rock. That duet would be EPIC!!
I have not heard this song for a few decades. A whole different meaning now than then. My father was at my mother's grave until the day he lay beside her joining my younger brother. Many tears fell today.
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... I'm crying hard as I listen to this song again and again ..
This song randomly popped into my head this morning as it was a song we sang in 7th grade choir. I never heard the original version until now but I can now understand why our Director chose it. Thank you, Styx, for this gem.
Beautiful song, beautifully sung and performed and beautifully portrayed. Thank you Dennis for writing this song and singing it only the way you could. It is one of my all time favorites and brings back may wonderful memories of a better time. Styx at their very best and untouchable.
The scene where the boy sees the old man laying flowers at the foot of a grave and begins to cry always chokes me up… this is such a great song with a very powerful message.
My grandfather passed away in November of 1990 and this is the first song I heard after we laid him to rest. And I really started to bargain with God about My life and I needed guidance. Thank you guys for sharing the way
Sometimes I like think there's someone listening our prays. But the harder I try, the more I can't figure out why things goes so horribly wrong nowadays...
Beautiful but haunting for me. My husband loved this song and played it quite a bit before taking his life 14 years ago. I always wanted to reach out to Styx to delve into its meaning.
My daughter Kelly was 2 y/o when she first heard this great song. In her baby language skill, she will sing it to me when every time I’ll get home from a U.S Navy weekend pass…she will add up words too: “Daddy, daddy show, showww me the wayyyyy” 😁🤣😂😭 I’ll never forget those happy moments we lived as a family; we travelled the world and lived in so many nice places too (not all of them were very nice to be honest though) but we all chipped in to make it work and that’s what really matters. This song will have a very special place in my heart & mind until my end of days. She’s now 33 and has her own family.
I was looking for a father's day song..don't know why..but this fit. Loved Dennis deyoung since highschool in the 70s. Feeling sad and alone and this song fit.
April 19, 2024, Friday. Philippines. When our three sons and a daughter were young, my wife Macy and I showed them they way. Now, it's them who help us out and they show us the way.
SO many heartfelt songs were put out in the 80s by Styx, Journey, Foreigner, Chicago....I could keep going but they all fell victim to band issues that stopped them from continuing their gift to the world of these types of songs. That's why there will NEVER be another era of songs like there were in the 80s.
This is the closest thing Rock music has to a gospel hymn. It's sad knowing that this is Styx' last top ten hit to date. "Every night, I say a prayer, in the hopes that there's a heaven...." To the citizens of Uvalde, Texas, We're with you, people!

Dennis DeYoung has one of the most beautiful and unique voices in music history.
Absolutely.
Don't forget he wrote so many great songs that he sang. Respect.
A truly blessed man.
Agreed!
Some of his high tenor pitch is somewhat similar to how Freddie Mercury used to sing
Who’s still here in 2024?
America could sure stand to listen to this now. Maybe do something to make their lives better.

Look at their history. Sure, Dennis wrote some solid songs, but Shaw wrote or co-wrote most of their bigger hits.

I'd pay to see that duet!They both have great voices!
Wow this song is mind blowing, In a world in confusion right now, thank you.
Hello Sandra.. how are things going with you?
I have not heard this song for a few decades. A whole different meaning now than then. My father was at my mother's grave until the day he lay beside her joining my younger brother. Many tears fell today.
My Heart, goes out to you….Godspeed to your Loved Ones in this most difficult of times ✝💕
This shows many ways life happens all around us... and one boy experiencing it.
Hello Vicky.. how are things going with you?
Hope that song brings that guy out of his coma. I will pray for him.
Damn good song with an awesome message
"...all the heroes and legends I knew as a child have fallen to idols of clay..."
Best line
Best line ever !!!
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...
I'm crying hard as I listen to this song again and again ..
This song randomly popped into my head this morning as it was a song we sang in 7th grade choir. I never heard the original version until now but I can now understand why our Director chose it. Thank you, Styx, for this gem.
Dennis de Young!! America's BEST composer!!
Did you know he wrote a musical called The Hunchback of Notre Dame ?
Lol . STOP SMOKING CRACK
Beautiful song, beautifully sung and performed and beautifully portrayed. Thank you Dennis for writing this song and singing it only the way you could. It is one of my all time favorites and brings back may wonderful memories of a better time. Styx at their very best and untouchable.
NOW TAKE THAT LIKE A MAN LET THE TRUTH B TOLD 💯💯💯💯💯💯
The scene where the boy sees the old man laying flowers at the foot of a grave and begins to cry always chokes me up… this is such a great song with a very powerful message.
Love this song ! Thank you so much God for putting people on my path to Show Me The Way !
Hello Melody.. how are things going with you?
One of the greatest voices ever.
There’s definitely a Heaven. And a he@&. I pray the world realizes it soon. God loves us!
Yes without a doubt, my favorite Styx song. Meaningful lyrics.
I want this song to be played at my funeral. It's so enlightening.
Their #3 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 from early 1991
My grandfather passed away in November of 1990 and this is the first song I heard after we laid him to rest. And I really started to bargain with God about My life and I needed guidance. Thank you guys for sharing the way
Prayers today for the souls lost as the anniversary of 9/11/2001 May we never forget
There is a Heaven ! Love your music Styx ! The best lyrics ever ! Yours J. C. Superstar
Sometimes I like think there's someone listening our prays. But the harder I try, the more I can't figure out why things goes so horribly wrong nowadays...
Considering how divided we are as a county, this song is more relevant than ever.
Tbh, we were more divided just a few years ago.
Wow
Well said Ace well said.
this songs are songs with those positive sense for life 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 truly I love 80s❤️
This song needs to be released again and we all need to listen and think about what is being said
R
It needs to be RELEASED AGAIN !!!!!!!
Co-sign man..beautiful powerful song-posted it on my Facebook page also..
Dennis made the most magic songs that Styx made
The visuals not just the overall video are just so fitting, synchronized - an affinity between both the lyrical, musical content and the images.❤
my sister performed this song for a choir concert at my church thank you Styx for this Mariah this song is for you sis
Beautiful but haunting for me. My husband loved this song and played it quite a bit before taking his life 14 years ago. I always wanted to reach out to Styx to delve into its meaning.
I’m so sorry for your loss. May God rest within you. 🙏🏻
Well you STILL CAN. Dennis De Young is still alive. I guess he probably wrote this one. He can be reached.
an absolutely magical song. one of the best progressive - hard rock bands to ever exist.
My daughter Kelly was 2 y/o when she first heard this great song. In her baby language skill, she will sing it to me when every time I’ll get home from a U.S Navy weekend pass…she will add up words too: “Daddy, daddy show, showww me the wayyyyy” 😁🤣😂😭
I’ll never forget those happy moments we lived as a family; we travelled the world and lived in so many nice places too (not all of them were very nice to be honest though) but we all chipped in to make it work and that’s what really matters.
This song will have a very special place in my heart & mind until my end of days.
She’s now 33 and has her own family.
❤❤❤
Why is this song speaking to me so profoundly in 2022?
I was looking for a father's day song..don't know why..but this fit.
Loved Dennis deyoung since highschool in the 70s.
Feeling sad and alone and this song fit.
This song is so awesome it's an inspirational song has a lot of meaning when someone is lost Show me the way
I have watched this video every weekend since March. It gives me strength in these tough times. Thank you Dennis DeYoung!
This song is 30 years old! Holy cow! Time flies by!
We all need this song right now 🇺🇸
Will plan to use this song as a background for my sister's funeral in a month. Showing pictures of her with this as a background.
Love it God bless America 🙏
April 19, 2024, Friday. Philippines. When our three sons and a daughter were young, my wife Macy and I showed them they way. Now, it's them who help us out and they show us the way.
Every night I say a prayer in the hopes that there's a heaven
And every day 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
Show me the way
And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred
I close my eyes and know 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 that 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 your 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 hope that there's a heaven

SO many heartfelt songs were put out in the 80s by Styx, Journey, Foreigner, Chicago....I could keep going but they all fell victim to band issues that stopped them from continuing their gift to the world of these types of songs. That's why there will NEVER be another era of songs like there were in the 80s.
This is the closest thing Rock music has to a gospel hymn. It's sad knowing that this is Styx' last top ten hit to date.
"Every night, I say a prayer, in the hopes that there's a heaven...."
To the citizens of Uvalde, Texas, We're with you, people!
Sometimes , you need to have your “faith” shattered to see the way things objectively are. Only then, can you can can be shown the true “way.”
This song is more poignant and meaningful now than ever before.
So true.. so meaningful now than ever !!
It certainly is.
God, I love this song
