I've wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands

I was lost in the night with no sight of you

And at times it was so blue and lonely

Heading for the light



Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails

I've rolled and I've tumbled through the roses and the thorns

And I couldn't see the sign that warned me, I'm

Heading for the light



(Bridge 1)

Ooh - I didn't see that big black cloud hanging over me

And when the rain came down I was nearly drowned

I didn't know the mess I was in



My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway

I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change

And I get the strangest feeling, as I'm

Heading for the light



(Bridge 2)

Ooh - my hands were tired

Jokers and fools on either side

But still I kept on till the worst had gone

Now I see the hole I was in



My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway

I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change

And I get the strangest feeling, as I'm

Heading for the light



I see the sun ahead, I ain't never looking back

All the dreams are coming true as I think of you

Now there's nothing in the way to stop me

Heading for the light



Now there's nothing in the way to stop me

Heading for the light
