(michael mcdonald/tommy sims)
Like a river runnin to the sea
There must be a reason for all these shattered dreams
Starts with our believing and ends with our backs against the walls
If Im not careful I might convince myself
This is the way its always gonna be
Spend my whole life wonderin just what it means to survive
So I wonder, am I strong enough?
Do I have the strength I need to carry on?
All Im askin for is the path thats gonna lead me home
Chorus:
All I need is a shinin light an open door
Im askin for nothin more than a little hope
Another mornin strange as it seems
Here once again with all these broken things
That once hung in the balance between the extremes of my life
With the will of a runaway train
I took my chances time and time again
Leaving nothin but wreckage and pain behind
Chorus:
All I need (is) just one answer Im lookin for
Im askin for nothin more
Than a light in the window
Enough that I might see
A voice to call my name
A prayer to comfort me
