I still remember nights when I was small,
You’d sit beside my bed until I’d fall,
Whispering dreams that only you could see,
You were the world wrapped all around me.
Oh, you gave me light when the sky was grey,
You were the dawn of my every day.
Every sacrifice, every tear you dried,
I carry your love like a flame inside.
No matter how far I go or where I've been,
You're the light that leads me home again.
Your hands were tired from holding up the sky,
But you never let me see you break or cry.
You turned the pages of a story never told,
A love so gentle made of solid gold.
'Cause you gave me light when the sky was grey,
You were the dawn of my every day.
Every sacrifice, every tear you dried,
I carry your love like a flame inside.
No matter how far I go or where I've been,
You're the light that leads me home again.
Now the years have traced their lines upon your face,
But I see a beauty time cannot erase.
If I could give you back the sleepless nights,
I'd wrap them in this song and hold you tight.
You gave me light when the sky was grey,
You were the sun on my coldest day.
Every lullaby and every silent prayer,
I still feel your love everywhere.
And when I'm lost and the road is dim,
Your light keeps burning from within...
You're the light that leads me home again.
Mm... you're the light...
Leads me home...
Home again.
