I traveled to a distant shore,
I felt I had to go.
An inner voice had called me there,
But why I did not know.
I saw the evening star rise up,
Shining out to sea,
And now I understand at last what it means,
What it all means!
Evening star: I can see the light!
Evening star guiding me so bright!
I used to tempt fate, I couldn't see straight.
I faltered through my younger days.
Never knowing where I was going,
Then something helped me penetrate the haze.
Evening star: I can see the light!
Evening star guiding me so bright!
Now I am stronger: the haze no longer
Ruins my future destiny.
Such inspirations and new sensations
Pull up these string ties chasing me.

Evening star: I can see the light!
Evening star guiding me so bright!
I'm home once more, much better for
The things that I have found.
Much wiser now, so simple how
Each time I turn around.
I see the evening star rise up,
Shining out on me,
And now I understand at last what it means,
What it all means!
Evening star: I can see the light!
Evening star guiding me so bright! (guiding me)
Evening star: I can see the light!
Evening star guiding me so bright!
