Well, the road is wide
Water runs on either side
My shadow went with fading light
Stretches out towards the night
Well, the sun is low
And I have yet so far to go
But my lonely heart is beating so
I'm just tired of the wander

There's a sign ahead
I'm thinking it's the same one again
But I'm thinking about my only friend
So I find my way home

When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light

Oh, well, the air is cold
And yonder lies my sleeping soul
By the branches broke like bones
Well, this weakened tree no longer holds
Hmm, well, the night is still
And I have not yet lost my will
Though I will keep on moving till
Till I find my way home

When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light

When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light

Lead me on and leave me strong
Like this road, I walk on

But when I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
