Guiding Light
Foy Vance Lyrics

Well the road is wide
The journey ahead of me is long and full of possibilities.

And waters run on either side
There is uncertainty and danger on either side of the path I tread.

And my shadow went with fading light
As the sun sets and darkness creeps in, I feel like I am losing who I really am.

Stretching out towards the night
My problems loom ahead of me and it feels like darkness is all I'll ever know.

'Cause the sun is low
The day is drawing to a close and I still have a long way to go.

And I yet have still so far to go
My journey is not yet over and there are many challenges ahead of me.

My lonely heart is beating so
I feel lonely and lost, and my heart is heavy with the weight of my struggles.

Tired of the wonder
I am tired of the unknown and long for a sense of stability.

There's a sign ahead
There is a glimmer of hope up ahead, but I am not sure if it's real or just a mirage.

Though I think it's the same one again
I have seen this sign before, but I still can't be sure if it will lead me to where I need to go.

But I'm thinking 'bout my only friend
In times of trouble, I turn to my closest ally for guidance and support.

And so I find my way home
With the help of my friend, I am able to navigate through the obstacles and come closer to finding my way home.

'Cause when I need to get home
When I am lost and don't know what to do, I turn to my friend for help.

You're my guiding light
My friend is the guiding light that helps me find my way through the darkness.

Oh, well the air is cold
The environment around me is hostile and unwelcoming.

And yonder lies my sleeping soul
My soul is drained and in need of rest.

By the branches broke like bones
The branches of a tree that have been weathered and broken symbolize how fragile and broken I feel inside.

Well, this weakened tree no longer holds
The tree that once provided shelter and support has been weakened by the elements and can no longer provide me with any help.

Well, the night is still
Even though everything around me is quiet and still, I am still restless and unsure.

And I have not yet lost my will
Despite the challenges, I am determined to keep going and find my way home.

Oh and I will keep on moving 'till
I will persist and keep going until I find a sense of direction and purpose.

'Till I find my way home
I will keep persisting until I find the path that leads me back to where I belong.

So lead me on, and leave me strong
I am relying on my friend to guide me, but I also need to be strong enough to face the journey ahead.

Like the road I walk on
The journey itself is what strengthens me, and the lessons I learn along the way.
