Bright light, almost blinding
  Black night still there shining
  I can't stop, keep on climbing
  Looking for what I knew
  
  Had a friend - he once told me
  You got love - you ain't lonely
  Now she's gone and left me only
  Looking for what I knew
  
  Mmm - I'm telling you now
  The greatest thing you ever can do now
  Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now
  It's very easy, just ah, ah, ah
  
  Met a man on the roadside crying
  Without a friend, there's no denying
  You're incomplete, they'll be no finding
  Looking for what I knew
  
  So anytime somebody needs you
  Don't let them down, although it grieves you
  Some day you'll need someone like they do
  Looking for what I knew
  
  Mmm - I'm telling you now [etc repeated]
