[Verse 1]
Well the road is wide
Waters run on either side
And my shadow in the fading light
Is stretching out toward the night
Cause the sun is low
And I yet have still so far to go
And 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

[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

[Verse 2]
Well the air is cold
And 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
[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]
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
