You have brought me home
I just can't make it on my own
Won't you see me through the night?
The sky is dark and I'm alone
Won't you shine me out your light?
I'm just a poor lost soul
Wandering in the cold
And I can't find my way home.
Every time I try to stand on my own two feet
Something knocks me down until I'm beat.
That' s when I do what you always told me to
That's when I kneel and I turn to you.
I just can't make it on my own
Won't you see me through the night?
The sky is dark and I'm alone
Won't you shine me out your light?
I'm just a poor lost soul
Wandering in the cold
And I can't find my way home.
In a world of losers I'm the lowest of the low
And there's no one here can show me where to go.
Hear the thunder and the lightning and the rain comes pouring down
And I'm standing at the crossroads on the outskirts of town.
I just can't make it on my own
Won't you see me through the night?
The sky is dark and I'm alone
Won't you shine me out your light?
I'm just a poor lost soul
Wandering in the cold
And I can't find my way home.
There's a light I can see on the top of the hill
And a tree that's standing tall and still
And then the darkness lightens and I look into your eyes
And I know you're always here if I realise
I just can't make it on my own
But you will see me through the night
The sky is dark and I'm alone
Till you shine me out your light
Not just a poor lost soul
Wandering in the cold
'Cause you have brought me home.
