Peter Gabriel - Why Don’t You Show Yourself lyrics

Why don't you show yourself?
Why don't you show yourself?

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

So we are searching, searching for you
And we go hunting, hunting for you
And in this empty space in this holy place

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

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

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?

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?
