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
