Peter Gabriel
Why Don’t You Show Yourself
[Chorus]
Why don't you show yourself?
Why don't you show yourself?

[Verse 1]
Was that something rustling in the leaves?
I can smell your breath within the breeze
Something lying at your feet
Making you alive and more complete
And we rely on all that's forgotten
With the way that destiny can pull you down

[Pre-Chorus]
So we are searching, searching for you
And we go hunting, hunting for you
And in this empty space
In this holy place

[Chorus]
Why don't you show yourself?
Why don't you show yourself?

[Verse 2]
Life and death, the strong and the weak
The only thing you think about is exactly what you seek
We look for footprints, we look for clear signs
Look for any patterns that we can find
[Pre-Chorus]
And still we're searching, searching for you
And we go hunting, hunting for you
And in this flesh and bone
In this man alone

[Chorus]
Why don't you show yourself?
Why don't you show yourself?

[Bridge]
Hard to find you, harder to see
A moving target, never where you're said to be
In you I find me
Why don't you show yourself?

[Pre-Chorus]
And we go hunting, hunting for you
And we're all hunting, hunting around this world
And in this wounded place
Why don't you show your face?

[Chorus]
Why don't you show yourself?
Why don't you show yourself?
