Cold steel rails in front of me My steel city left behind Miles and miles of miles to go It's another lonely night I see the tunnel up ahead is dark It opens up and swallows me whole Can't see the light at the other end now Sometime its gotta show I see my light shining through Shine on, shine on I've got the time to say to my friend Hey, friend, that this ain't no easy road But it's the way I must travel Even if I have to go alone I've seen the dreams of a broken man Broken, shattered and torn Have to stand on my own two feet Some time my day is gonna dawn I see the day is coming Won't have to wait no more I feel the rays-a-burning Burning through my open door Shine on through Shine on through Three days, 1500 miles Quickly turns into a week Don't know my direction And I just can't get no sleep This petty ego is thriving On a teenage dream It won't be long before we arrive Down on loser's street, yeah I see my light shining through I see my light shining through I see my light shining through My light a-shining through See the light shine through Shine on
