Drifting alone on a wide open sea
Letting life pass me by
Avoiding everything I'm afraid to be
But your heart shines a light

Lost in my own misery
'Til you came and helped me see
That I don't have to be alone
Thank you for giving this lost heart a home

So keep the light on
I'm coming home
'Cause I've been gone
For so long

Always lost inside
Always looking away
When the best moments in life
Are ours to take

The tragedy of human life
The darkness that lurks inside
The days that we quit and start to die
This is the time to stand and fight

So keep the light on
I'm coming home
'Cause I've been gone
For so long
Keep the light on
Yeah, I'm coming home
'Cause I've been gone
For so long

So shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on

Drifting alone on a wide open sea
Letting life pass me by
Avoiding everything I'm afraid to be
But your heart shines a light

So keep the light on
I'm coming home
'Cause I've been gone
For so long

So keep the light on
I'm coming home
'Cause I've been gone
For so long

So shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
