its so cold in the shadow of distant lights 

and the chilling wind slows our pace and tests our will 

still a voice whispers it will be over soon 

and there we find the courage to climb the hill 



sometimes I lose sight of where i'm going 

fanned by a flame I can't remember 

but distant lights still burn bright 

and the road goes on forever 



year after year with renewed ambition 

we scale the walls to find there's nothing there 

still idle hands clutch the empty page 

with the passion of a desperate prayer 



sometimes I lose sight of where i'm going 

fanned by a flame I can't remember 

but distant lights still burn bright 

and the road goes on forever 



and here we are again 

the doors close behind us 

and the road goes on and on and on and on... 



sometimes I lose sight of where i'm going 

fanned by a flame I can't remember 

but distant lights still burn bright 

and the road goes on forever 

forever...
