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
