I've wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands

I was lost in the night with no sign 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 sun that warmed me - heading for the light.

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
'cause I'm heading for the light.

Ooh
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
'cause 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.
