Rudolph: I'm out here on my own
To face the day alone
I need you
To get me through the night
I'm lost out in the cold
I want someone to hold
I feel you near
Though you're out of sight
And even though we're far apart
I search the moonlit sky
I make a wish to be home with you
Can't you hear me cry?
Show me the light
Someone to lead and guide me
Show me the light
A love to stand beside me
Show me the light
When I fear the dark
A ray of sunshine, a rainbow's arc
Show me the light
Oooh
Zoey: I'm reachin' for a star
Wonderin' where you are
Where is the love
Searchin' for me too?
Oh beyond the mountain top
The dream will never stop
Give me a sign
I'm runnin' out of time
Rudolph: Oh, I know someone
is on their knees
Rudolph and Zoey: Praying for me now
Won't you come and hear my pleas?
Rudolph: Save me somehow
Oh, somehow (Zoey: Oh, how?)
Zoey: Show me the light
Someone to lead and guide me
Show me the light
A love to stand beside me
Both: Show me the light
When I fear the dark
Rudolph: Ray of sunshine
Zoey: A rainbow's arc
Rudolph: Show me the light
Where are you, Zoey?
Both: Show me the light
Medley & Warnes' version (End Credits)[]
I'm out here on my own
To face the day alone
I need your love to help me through the night
I'm lost out in the cold
I want someone to hold
I feel you're near, though you're out of sight
And even though we're far apart
I search the moonlit sky
I make a wish to be home with you
Can't you hear me cry?
Hear me cry
Show me the light
Someone to lead and guide me
Show me the light
A love to stand beside me
Show me the light
When I fear the dark
A ray of sunshine, a rainbow's arc
Show me the light
I'm reaching for a star
Wondering where you are
Where is the love searching for me too?
Beyond the mountain top
The dream will never stop
Give me a sign
I'm running out of time
And I know someone is on their knees
Praying for me now
Won't you come and hear my pleas?
Save me
Oh, save me somehow
Show me the light
Someone to lead and guide me
Oh, I like you
Show me the light
A love to stand beside me
Ooh
Show me the light
When I fear the dark
A ray of sunshine, a rainbow's arc
Show me the light
When I wake, I'll lean on you
To help me to be strong
Give me faith to walk with you
And know where I belong
Where I belong
Show me the light
Someone to lead and guide me
Oh
Show me the light
A love to stand beside me
Show me the light
When I fear the dark
A ray of sunshine, a rainbow's arc
(3x) Show me the light
Show me the light
