Gimme A Sign

(Music & Lyrics © Ronald D. Crowder)

ASCAP 

My musical tastes run all over the place. And as a songwriter, those tastes are often reflected in the music I write. I grew up being influenced by all kinds of music. It started out with gospel music in the church when I was young. I was also influenced by the music that my older brothers listened to and everything that was on the radio. Back when a single radio station would play multiple genres of music. And within that mix, I took a particular liking to soul music. Starting with the Motown stuff and moving on to acts like The Stylistics, The Spinners, Rufus and Chaka Khan, Earth, Wind, and Fire, The Chi-lites, and on and on. Some of my favorite singers were black and I would try to imitate them. Often the songs I write don’t fit into any particular genre, but rather, are influenced by multiple genres. This song is me leaning into more of a soulful vibe. With a lyrical theme whereby the narrator is basically saying, “reach out to me if you need a hand, and I will be there for you.”

Listen to song

You got to say what you want 

If there’s anything you need 

Just say what you want 

I got your back leave it to me 

‘Cause the day’s gonna come 

When you’re gonna need a friend 

Give me the word, I’ll be right there 

By your side, again and again

 

Give me a sign 

Give me a sign, I’ll make it all right 

Anytime 

Anytime, day or night 

Give me a sign 

Give me a sign, I’ll make it all right 

Give me a sign 

Give me a sign, I’ll make it all right 

When times get tough 

And a smile just can’t be found   

When there’s nowhere to turn 

And this old world keeps spinning around and around

Just say what you want 

When trouble rears its head 

You don’t have to face it on your own 

I’ll pick you up don’t ever forget 

Give me a sign 

Give me a sign, I’ll make it all right 

Anytime 

Anytime, day or night 

Give me a sign 

Give me a sign, I’ll make it all right 

Give me a sign 

Give me a sign I’ll make it all right

 

If you’re down on your luck I’ll be on the scene 

Straight to your side with a remedy 

There’s no bind too big or small 

Ain’t no problem we can’t solve 

Just say what you want 

If you carry a heavy load 

Don’t ever let it get you down  

Remember that you’re never alone

 

Give me a sign 

Give me a sign, I’ll make it all right 

Anytime 

Anytime, day or night 

Give me a sign 

Give me a sign, I’ll make it all right 

Give me a sign 

Give me a sign, I’ll make it all right
