Shine a light, I'm nearly there
Though my pockets are empty, and my feet are bare
I've travelled the world without wisdom or care
Now I'm coming back home to you
I admit that I lied, I admit that I stole
But all that I took, could not make me whole
From the day that I left with what's left of my soul
I've been trying to get home to you

I heard a tale of a prodigal son
And I realised what it was I had done
For all I had wandered
Was all I had squandered
When all that I needed was you

So shine a light, so I can see
If you have in your heart any welcome for me
I've no-where to go and I've no-place to be
But being back home with you

I've seen the shores of a faraway land
And I've held the price of a man in my hand
And all that it bought me
all that it taught me
Was all that I needed was you
FAST

So shine a light, for night is near
The darkness falls and makes me fear
Shine a light, so the path is clear
and I'll find my way home to you
I'll find my way home to you.
