Lyrics

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel
Shine on please shine let your brightness lead the way
'Cos the tunnels been so long and roof has often fallen
Shine on please shine and lead me home

There are days that make you think that it's not worth the fighting
Shine on please shine let your brightness lead the way
When you've often thought lay down and leave the moving finger writing
Shine on please shine and lead home

Shine on, shine on, shine on please shine and lead me home

Well the battle dulls your brain but the bottle keeps you smiling
Shine on please shine let your brightness lead the way
But the bottle doesn't last and you have to face the morning
Shine on please shine and lead me home

Oh I know there'll come a time when your luck will change for better
Shine on please shine let your brightness lead the way
When you'll look back on these days as a scar that doesn't matter
Shine on please shine and lead me home
