Looking for the Light Lyrics
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
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
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
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"
Has monsters of it's own
So sometimes late at night I'd drive by that old house
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
