Are you on the stairway to heaven or just reflecting on the dark side of the moon? This is the place to post music from the 70's

an elderly acquaintance passed away last year 😢
I used to help with his computer, and he left a hard drive with a large collection of 60s to 80s music. I came across this one song and have not been able to identify the title or the artist, maybe someone here can help?
I put it on dropbox:
I've google the lines I could make out, but haven't been able to find these lyrics anywhere.
judging by the style and sound, I would say maybe late 70s or possibly early 80s? I'm not an expert and hoping maybe someone here can help figure out who the artist is.
any idea what this is?? thanks!

I recently discovered Phenomenon - UFO. I love this album, I this it’s one of the best from the 70s. Is there any other albums from the 70s that you guys think I would like based on me liking Phenomenon?
I’m blown away, if you haven’t listened to this, put some good headphones on, lay in your bed, and listen.
I know it includes “Strength to me” as a lyric.
Also this at some point:
“I.. may.. go.. wherever you may lead.”
Or maybe it’s:
“I.. will.. follow you” something something blah blah
