  • Well the road is wide
    And waters run on either side
    And 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

    'Cause 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
    Well, this weakened tree no longer holds

    Well, the night is still
    And I have not yet lost my will
    Oh and I will keep on moving 'till
    'Till 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

    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 leave me strong
    Like the 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 Writer/s: Foy Vance
