Troubles mound and you're longing for home
Calling the nurse cause you're feeling alone
These are the tragic times
No way out
The doctor enters the room, is it time
His troubled face gives you all the signs

You've been reaching for the bright light, go tonight
The mother still holds on though her heart is broken
Now the father is gone
It makes you want to know, just scream out loud
You've been reaching for the bright light since this morning
You've been reaching for the bright light, go tonight
One last goodbye
A trooper seeks his home
A last breath of life
And soon you're on your own
One last goodbye
Now you see it clear
Disappointment running through you
Now the end is near
Oh yeah, you've been reaching for the bright light since this morning
Oh no, you've been reaching for the bright light since this morning
Oh, you've been reaching for the bright light

You've been reaching for the bright light, go tonight
One last goodbye
A trooper seeks his home
A last breath of life
And soon you're on your own
One last goodbye
Now you see it clear
Disappointment running through you
Now the end is near
End is near
Reaching
