Watching and waiting

Living on wishful thinking

Maybe you'll come home soon

Hoping and praying

Today your eyes will see

I'm reaching out to you



The sun sinks low

With it goes my heart

My hope for you

Stumbles in the dark



I'll leave the light on

Like I do every night

I may wait a lifetime

It may be tonight

So I'll leave the light on for you



Scatter these shadows

Push back again my fear

I'll let the Spirit speak

Seeing the stars shine

Leading some from far away

You're not beyond their reach



The sun sinks low

But I won't lose heart

My hope for you

Shines through the dark



I'll leave the light on

Like I do every night

I may wait a lifetime

It may be tonight

So I'll leave the light on for you
