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

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
Heading for the light

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

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

Oh, 
my hands were tied, 
jokers and fools on 
either side
But 
still I kept on 
till the worst had gone
Now I see the hole I was in

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

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

Now there's nothing in the way 
to stop me
Heading for the light

Heading for the light
Heading for the light
