Looking For The Light

<br>When I was young I was frightened by shadow monsters on my walls<br>I was convinced they would get me in the dark if I slept at all<br>I knew she was there in her bedroom, so I`d tiptoe down the hall<br>Lay my head on the floor and try to see under her door<br>chorus<br>I was looking for the light<br>When it was on, I knew everything was all right<br>Before I could knock she`d open the door,<br>and I`d look up and see that smile<br>She always knew when I was looking for the light<br>At 19 I had all the answers, thought I could make it on my own<br>As we were packing she said,<br>"Don`t ever forget, this is always your home"<br>Soon I found a one room apartment<br>Has monsters of it`s own<br>So sometimes late at night I`d drive by that old house<br>chorus<br>I stood there filled with fear, as she was passing away<br>They said, "She can`t hear you now, all we can do is pray."<br>As I squeezed her hand, she opened her eyes<br>Smiled for me one last time<br>She always knew<br>When I was looking for the light
