Wijs Me De Weg (English translation: "Show Me The Way") was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1992, performed in Dutch by Humphrey Campbell.
The song is a moderately up-tempo number, with Campbell singing about a search for an existential truth in life. He sings that his search has been - so far - fruitless, but asks his listeners to "show me the way" to various things, including "to love always".
The song was performed twenty-third on the night (following Germany's Wind with Träume Sind Für Alle Da). At the close of voting, it had received 67 points, placing 9th in a field of 23.
It was succeeded as Dutch representative at the 1993 Contest by Ruth Jacott with Vrede.
