Leave a Light On by Greg Ferguson /Willow Creek Music
Leave on light on for me
I don’t know if you remember.
But we’ve gone by each other a time or two before.
Leave a light on for me. I drive by this church so often.
I pull up for just a moment and I look inside the door.
Leave a light on for me. ‘Cause I’ve been a lot of places.
And I learned a lot of lessons and the lessons take their toll.
So leave a light on. So I can look for what’s left of my soul.
Leave on light on for me. ‘Cause my world keeps gettin’ bigger.
But my heart’s been gettin’ smaller and it chills me to the bone.
Leave a light on for me.
‘Cause I thought I had all the answers.
But now I’ve got the questions that won’t leave me alone.
Leave a light on for me.
‘Cause I’ve always been a fighter
But I never knew how much of life was out of my control.
So leave a light on. ‘Cause right now I can’t see where to go.
I don’t know why I keep on driving by your door.
I’m not exactly sure just what I’m lookin’ for.
Is there still a candle burnin’ in the hope of my returnin’?
Did you mean to shine a light?
Or just to keep out the night?
I wanna know. I wanna know.
So leave a light on for me.
Shine it out into the darkness.
So I can always see it in the corner of my eye.
Leave a light on for me.
So when I drive by tomorrow
I’ll believe the door’s still open and I might go back inside.
Leave a light on for me.
I’ve kept my distance from religion.
But I always hoped there might be someone watchin’ over me.
So leave a light on - and maybe this time….
Leave a light on - and maybe this time….
Leave a light on – and maybe this time,
I’ll believe.
Leave a light on for me.
