Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Been close to the edge
Hanging by my fingernails
I rolled and I tumbled to the roses and the thorns
And I couldn't see the sign that warned me
I'm heading for the light
[Verse 3]
Oh, 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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Oh, my hands were tied to jokers and fools on either side
Oh, still I kept on till the worst had gone
Now I see the hole I was in
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light
[Verse 9]
Heading for the light
[Verse 10]
Heading for the light
