"There's a Light"

Here's a song that I'm working on with my old pal, Brad Warren.  The lyric is rough.  I'm sure there will be changes as the song comes together.  In any case, I thought I'd share this first draft from early on in the process....

 

-There's a Light-

 

Refrain :

There's a light in the distance; it's burning through the night.

There's a light up ahead that lies just beyond the sea.
I'm a drift on these waves, floating, lost, and aimelss.

But there's a light in the distance, and it's giving hope to me.

Verse 1:

In my time, I've climbed a million mountains-

a fugitive just running from his fears.

I've kept myself away from those who love me.

Now I've grown tired and old beyond my years.

But...

Refrain :

There's a light in the distance that fights away the dark.

There's a light up ahead that lies just beyond these hills.

In the prison of night, I move across this desert

towards a light in the distance that despair can never kill.

Verse 2:

I got lost along a hidden highway

I left behind the life I once pursued.

A broken compass keeps me in the wasteland,

and blinded by a love of solitude.

But...
 

Refrain:

There's a light in the distance that fights away the night.

There's a light up ahead that I'm keeping in my sight.

There's a light in the distance that leads me to tomorrow.

Oh, there's a light up ahead that I'm moving toward tonight.
