Lyric discussion by Kingofstilport 

Cover art for Light A Way lyrics by Volbeat

This is a song about a little boy who was taken away from his mother and home (he never knew his father). One day, a horse rider came and took his mother away by force, the story goes that she was taken away for slavery. The boy was left behind and began to walk the road along the corn fields, praying for help from the lord above. One day, he arrives at "The 10 House City" where he tries to earn some money polishing shoes, always hoping to find his mother and to save enough money to buy her freedom from slavery.
