Looking for the Light

歌詞

When I was young I was frightened by shadow monsters on my walls I was convinced they would get me in the dark if I slept at all I knew she was there in her bedroom, so I'd tiptoe down the hall Lay my head on the floor and try to see under her door [Chorus] I was looking for the light When it was on, I knew everything was all right Before I could knock she'd open the door, and I'd look up and see that smile She always knew when I was looking for the light At 19 I had all the answers, thought I could make it on my own As we were packing she said, "Don't ever forget, this is always your home" Soon I found a one room apartment Has monsters of it's own So sometimes late at night I'd drive by that old house [Chorus] I stood there filled with fear, as she was passing away They said, "She can't hear you now, all we can do is pray." As I squeezed her hand, she opened her eyes Smiled for me one last time She always knew When I was looking for the light
