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've rolled and I've tumbled through the roses and the thorns
And I couldn't see the sign that warned me, I'm

Heading for the light
Bridge 1:
Ooh - 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 3:

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 4:
(Instrumental solo and ad.lib.)

Bridge 2:
Ooh - my hands were tired
Jokers and fools on either side

(Repeat verse 3)

Verse 6:
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
