Well, the road is wide
Water runs on either side
And my shadow in the fading light
Is stretching out towards the night
'Cause the Sun is low
And I, yet, have still so far to go
My lonely heart is beating so
Tired of the wonder
There's a sign ahead
Though I think it's the same one again
But I'm thinking 'bout 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

Well, the air is cold
Yonder lies my sleeping soul
By the branches, broke like bones
This weakened tree no longer holds
Well, the night is still
And I have not yet lost my will
Oh, and I will keep on moving till
Until 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

So, lead me on, lead me strong like the road I walk on
(When I need to get home, you're my guiding light, you're my guiding light)
So, lead me on, lead me strong like this road I walk on
(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
