Verse 1
A single light shines through the night
The golden glow is all that shows
Would you guide me on my way today?
Would you carry me far away?

Chorus 1
Find a distant shore where I?ll want no more
Climb the mountain tops where the hurting stops
Hanging on to today hanging on find a place to stay

Verse 2
Standing naked on the ocean?s edge
What does the light let you see?
See the glow does it let you know
You and me and by the light we shall be

Chorus 2
Find a distant shore where I?ll want no more
Climb the mountain tops where the hurting stops
Hanging on to today hanging on find a better way)

Verse 3
The glow is growing the mornings showing
The morning gives way to the bight of day
What did I do today to make you feel this way?
All I want for you is to make it be true

Chorus
Find a distant shore where I?ll want no more
Climb the mountain tops where the hurting stops
Hanging on to today hanging on find a place to stay

Outro
Hanging on to today hanging on find a better way
Hanging on
Hanging on
Hanging on to the light of day
