When you're lost and everything around you is dark and cold
Sometimes love, it just can't follow you down that road
All I can do is make you a promise
That while you're gone
I'll leave the light on to find your way home
And when your battle is over and done
I'll be right here, yeah, my love's like the sun
Hard to see from where you are, but never gone
I'll leave the light on, I'll leave the light on
When you're sad and nothing seems to ease you, say a prayer
And even if you think no one hears you, he is there
All I can do is make you a promise
That while you're gone
I'll leave the light on to find your way home
And when your battle is over and done
I'll be right here, yeah, my love's like the sun
Hard to see from where you are, but never gone
I'll leave the light on, I'll leave the light on
Don't you think that I'd take every moment of the pain
If I thought I could?
But if I stepped in and took the bullet and the blame
It would do no good
I'll leave the light on to find your way home
When your battle is over and done
I'll be right here, yeah, my love's like the sun
Hard to see from where you are, but never gone
I'll leave the light on, I'll leave the light on
