Well, the road is wide
And waters run on either side
And my shadow in the fadin' light
Is stretchin' out toward the night
And the sun is low
And I yet have still so far to go
And my lonely heart is beatin' so
Tired of the wonder
But there's a sign ahead
And I think it's the same one again
So I'm thinkin' about my only friend
'Til 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
And yonder lies my sleepin' soul
By the branches broke like bones
This weakened tree no longer holds
Where the night is still
And I have not yet lost my will (I have not yet lost my will), no, no
Oh, and I will keep on movin' 'til
Until I find my way home, oh yeah
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)
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
(Oh, you lead me on, you lead me strong)
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
(Oh, yes, you are, yes, you are)
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
(Oh, whenever I lead you, let it lead you 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 the road I walk on, ooh
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
