It's 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 and with renewed ambition   We scale the walls to find there's nothing there   Still idle hands clutch the empty page   With the passion of our 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      Forever, forever, forever, forever
