Lyrics

I traveled to a distant shore
I felt I had to go
An inner voice had called me there
But why, I did not know
I saw the evening star rise up
Shining out to sea
And now I understand at last what it means
What it all means
Evening star
I can see the light
Evening star
Guiding me so bright
I used to tempt fate
I couldn't see straight
I faltered through my younger days
Never knowing where I was going
Then something helped me penetrate the haze
Evening star
I can see the light
Evening star
Guiding me so bright
Now I am stronger
The haze no longer
Will veil my future destiny
Such inspirations and new sensations
Though nothing strange has changed in me
Evening star
I can see the light
Evening star
Guiding me so bright
Lead: Glenn
Lead: K.K.
Lead: Glenn
I'm home once more, much better for
The things that I have found
Much wiser now, so simple how
Each time I turn around
I see the evening star rise up
Shining out on me
And now I understand at last what it means
What it all means
Evening star
I can see the light
Evening star
Guiding me so bright (Guiding me)
Evening star
I can see the light
Evening star
Guiding me so bright
Evening star
I can see the light
Evening star
Guiding me so bright
Evening star
I can see the light
Evening star
Guiding me so bright
