I'll Keep the Light On

Intro

Someone has to believe things can get better.

Verse 1

The room gets heavy, voices low

Everybody says there's nowhere left to go

Windows shut, curtains drawn

Talking like the morning's gone

Pre-Chorus

Maybe they're tired

Maybe they're worn

But I won't call the night permanent

Chorus

I'll keep the light on

Even when it's dim

Even when the edges start to thin

If hope walks out and leaves the door ajar

I'll keep the light on where you are

I'll keep the light on

Till the dark gives in

Till somebody feels like trying again

If no one else remembers where to start

I'll keep the light on in your heart

Verse 2

Some days kindness feels too small

Like it can't do anything at all

But a candle still can change a room

Even if it's fighting gloom

Pre-Chorus

Maybe they're hurting

Maybe they hide

Still, I'll leave a place to come back to

Chorus

I'll keep the light on

Even when it's dim

Even when the edges start to thin

If hope walks out and leaves the door ajar

I'll keep the light on where you are

I'll keep the light on

Till the dark gives in

Till somebody feels like trying again

If no one else remembers where to start

I'll keep the light on in your heart

Bridge

I don't need to fix the sky

Just help one star remember how to shine

Final Chorus

I'll keep the light on

Soft but strong

Long enough to lead you home along

And if tomorrow takes a little while

I'll wait here with the light awhile
