Leave the Light On Lyrics

She said sometimes I look at you and all I can ask

Is where'd the time and how'd it go so damn fast

As you look to the future, I search through the past

And hope I've prepared you for all you'll be tasked

So I send you off with lessons from my mistakes

Knowing full well there'll be some that are yours to make

She said don't look down, lift your head higher

Shoot for the stars, but don't catch on fire

When you're tired, and want to come home

For you I'll leave that light on

There were miles between us, both feeling lost

Powered by love others said were star-crossed

With hands clasped and turned backs closed eyed penny toss

Cause just to give up would be too high a cost

So we promised that someday, someway, somehow

We'd come back to this place and reclaim this vow

We'd say don't look down, lift your head higher

Shoot for the stars, but don't catch on fire

When you're tired, and want to come home

For you I'll leave that light on

And when you're on your own

You'll always have a home

And when all hope is gone

For you I'll leave that light on

If there's one thing I know, it burns it all through my chest

Is you can't live a life if you're stuck in your head

Some think the worst thing in this life is death

But I think what's worse is a life if you let

The fear of falling stop you from taking flight

When you can't find your way, just look for the light, the light

Don't look down, no lift yourself higher

Shoot for the stars, but don't catch on fire

When you're tired, and want to come home

For you I'll leave that light on

Don't look down, no lift yourself higher

Shoot for the stars, but don't catch on fire

When you're tired, and want to come home

For you I'll leave that light on
