Baby, let your light shine on me
When I'm lost on the road
You know you could set me free
You could ease my load
Days get so dark that I can't hardly see
I've been gone so long, it seems like home to me

Baby, when I was young of age, I took you for my world
The oceans were your eyes, the pastors were your curves
But now I'm all alone stranded in the West
Where you sleep tonight I can only guess

Baby, let your light shine on me
When I'm lost on the road
You know you could set me free
You could ease my load
There's something on the hills you know I gotta see
I've been gone so long, it seems like home to me

Well, baby, I gave you all I got and told you all I know
But you want someone I'm not so it's time for me to go
When a sparrow needs it's rest, it takes the nearest tree
But if I pass back this way, there's still light on me

Baby, let your light shine on me
When I'm lost on the road
You know you could set me free
You could ease my load
There's something that I lack, it just won't let me be
I've been gone so long, it seems like home to me

Baby, let your light shine on me
When I'm lost on the road
You know, you could set me free
You could ease my load
I guess I'll just keep on until I reach the sea
I've been gone so long, it seems like home to me
It seems like home to me
It seems like home to me
