Well, the road is wide
And the waters run on either side
My shadow went with fading light
Stretching out towards the night
 
'Cause the sun is low
And I yet have still so far to go
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
And so I find my way home
 
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
 
Oh 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
And I will keep on moving 'til
'Til I find my way home
 
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
 
So lead me on and 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
