lyrics

TOWARD THE LIGHT

Tonight I am alone
And memories go floating through my mind
I’m far away from home
And I don’t know what I am trying to find
So much has slipped away from my hands
I’m trying to remember who I am
By reading the story on the sands
Of my life

I wonder where you are
What happened to the friendship that we had?
We’ve both traveled so far
Why did we have to go on separate paths?
Oh, and that list is so long
I don’t appreciate things till they’re gone
But then it’s just too late so I move on
With my life

Changes upon changes, will the world forever spin?
Don’t know where I’m going, and I’m not sure where I’ve been
But it’s all right
As long as I keep moving toward the light

And what have I become?
Is this where I was hoping I would be?
I’ve lived life on the run
Always a step ahead of what you see
So many changes that I go through
I can’t keep track of me much less you
But there is nothing else that I can do
In my life

Changes upon changes, will the world forever spin?
Don’t know where I’m going, and I’m not sure where I’ve been
But it’s all right
As long as I keep moving toward the light

What does the future hold?
Will I ever learn how to play the game?
With each day I grow old
But deep inside I seem to stay the same
What secrets wait for me around the bend?
Will today’s stranger one day be my friend?
Well I won’t know until I reach the end
Of my life

Changes upon changes, will the world forever spin?
Don’t know where I’m going, and I’m not sure where I’ve been
But it’s all right
As long as I keep moving toward the light
As long as I keep moving toward the light
As long as I keep moving toward the light
