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
