Before the stream became a rivers
Before the river changed its course
There was a time when lazy waters
Were young enough to cross
But now it seems so hard for me to find
The one thing that I though was always mine
Looking for the light
Looking for the light
Looking for the light I used to know
When I was young I felt the wind blow
Climbed the high tree saw the birds eye view
Wasn't afraid to trust my feelings
When all my ways were new
But certainty's a stranger to me now
I'm in the shadows on the edge of town
Looking for the light
Looking for the light
Looking for the light I used to know
Now my joy is mixed with sadness
Now my comfort is laced with pain
And though my time is getting shorter
The dream is just the same
Looking for the light
Looking for the light
Looking for the light I used to know
Looking for the light
Looking for the light
Looking for the tender light of home
