Light at the end of the tunnel

Show me the way

There’s a light at the end of the tunnel

At least, that’s how the story it goes

I wonder how long of a tunnel it is?

I wonder if anyone knows?

Every once in a while I may catch a glimpse

The hope of a brand new fresh day

Maybe that’s where the light in the tunnel is?

I hear that’s what some people say

When you’re down, feeling blue, or just not yourself

When the rain it continues to fall

If the skies they lay dark and foreboding

Try not to give up on it all

Remember the light in the tunnel

You must try and get to the end

It’s the place where it starts to feel better

The place where you’re going to mend

I’m off to go out and find it,

Something we all should try too

It’s out there you know, it’s just waiting

But it certainly won’t come to you

You must stand up, forge on and go get it

We must never give up on that light

It’s no good just sitting and waiting

It’s something for which we must fight

But one day you will find that we’ve got it

It just takes a wee bit of time

So shoulders back, head high , and take that first step

And soon there’s a light you will find
