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 ho 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.
