David J. Caron - Guiding Light Home Lyrics

On distant heights, a beacon lights, a signalling ray
As embers glow, in flames to grow, to journey my way
From peak to peak, the call repeats, each new fire ignites
With leaps and bounds, they skip the ground, a message takes flight
On through the mist, the glow persists, 'til distant bells chime
Through canyons deep, the searching sweeps, unfrozen from time
'Til finally, inside of me, a feeling is found
It's calling me, commanding me, to turn homeward bound

Sure as the glowing moon, ever ancient rune, guides me through the night
Sure as each day born, at the break of dawn, brings the morning light
I long to see home, I need to see home

The years they pass, like weeks they flash, too quickly to feel
The waters flow, as on we row, oblivious to real
The seasons change, the hopes remain, some memories can hide
'Til thoughts return, for all we yearn, that fills us with pride

Sure as the glowing moon, ever trusted rune, guides me through the night
Sure as each day born, at the break of dawn, brings the morning light
Where I call my land, where my ancestors stand, is where I owe my life
I'll find my way home 'cause I'm bound by a guiding light
Home
It's time to come home, Home, I'm called to come home
As lightning flash and boulders crash realization dawns
Our time is short, to live we ought, before it's all gone

And years from now, we'll wonder how, our dreams did escape
Too often we, too selfishly, are asleep when awake
The winds may blow, regrets will grow, while our purpose awaits
Into someone's eyes, return surprise, before it's too late

Sure as the glowing moon, ever ancient rune, guides me through the night
Sure as each day born, at the break of dawn, brings the morning light
Where I call my land, where my ancestors stand, is where I owe my life
I'll find my way home 'cause I'm bound by a guiding light

Here I make my stand, here I'll raise my hands to protect my right
If you strike my shield, you my sword shall feel, and you will know my might
Here I call my land, here our ways will stand, or you can lose your life
I'll fight for my home 'cause I'm bound by a guiding light

Home
It's calling me, commanding me I'm drawn to return
Home
I'm on my way, and come what may, I'll find my way home
