(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 I'm not careful I might convince myself   This is the way it's 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 I'm askin' for is the path that's gonna lead me home      Chorus:   All I need is a shinin' light an open door   I'm 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 I'm lookin' for   I'm 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
