Lyrics
Can you light my way from your home up above?
Can you show me the way back to the ones I dearly love?
At the end of my journey when at last my spirit’s free
When you're looking down from heaven won’t you light the way for me?
Oh, the road is dark and rocky as I stumble through the night
I can’t see the path before me though I try with all my might
How I wish that you were here to help me make it through the day
When you’re looking down from heaven won’t you help me find a way?
At last I’m on my way if you could light the path up for me
If you could shine a light I’d see the pearly gates by morning
Help me find a way so I can set my spirit free
When you’re looking down from heaven won’t you light the way for me?
Well my clothes are awful ragged and my shoes are thin and worn
And I’m ready to transcend the place where I was raised and born
It don't bother me at all to think about the day I'll leave
And I'll be upon my way just as long as I can see
Can you light my way from your home up above?
Can you show me the way back to the ones I dearly love?
At the end of my journey when at last my spirit’s free
When you're looking down from heaven won't you light the way for me?About This Song
