[Verse 1]
Well, the road is wide
Waters run on either side
My shadow in the fading light
Is stretching out towards the night
'Cause the sun is low
But I yet have still so far to go
And my lonely heart is beating so
Tired of the wonder
Well, there's a sign ahead
Though I think it's the same one again
I'm thinking about my only friend
So I find my way home

[Chorus]
'Cause 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

[Verse 2]
Oh, well the air is cold
Yonder lies my sleeping soul
By the branches broke like bones
Oh, this weakened tree no longer holds
Good Lord, oh, well the night is still
I have not yet lost my will
Oh and I will keep on moving 'till
Till I find my way home
[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Lead me up and leave me strong
Like the road I walk on
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
Guide me home, guide me strong
Whatever light leads you, may it lead you home
Guide me home, guide me strong
Guide me home, guide me strong like the road I walk on
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
