i've been down this road walkin' the line
that's painted by pride
and i have made mistakes in my life
that i just can't hide

oh i believe i am ready for what love has to bring
got myself together now i'm ready to sing

i've been searchin' my soul tonight
i know there's so much more to life
now i know i can shine a light
to find my way back home

one by one the chains around me unwind
every day now i feel that i can leave those years behind

oh i've been thinking of you for a long time
there's a side of my life where i've been blind and so 

i've been searchin' my soul tonight
i know there's so much more to life
now i know i can shine a light
everything gonna be alright
i've been searchin' my soul tonight
don't wanna be alone in life
now i know i can shine a light
to find my way back home
baby i been holding back now my whole life
i've decided to move on now
gonna leave all my worries behind

oh i belive i am ready for what love has to give
got myself together now i'm ready to live

i've been searchin' my soul tonight
i know there's so much more to life
now i know i can shine a light
everything gonna be alright
i've been searchin' my soul tonight
don't wanna be alone in my life
now i know i can shine a light
to find my way back home

repeat chorus
