Looking for the Light

Looking For The Light - The Hit Co.

When I was young, I was frightened

By shadow monsters on my wall

And 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 seen 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, I'd go out and drive by that old house

And 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 seen that smile

She always knew, when I was looking for the light

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

And smiled for me one last time

She always knew, when I was looking for the light
