Hope Light

I'm still here, a child, like I was long ago
Yet there are fears, I feel you need to know
If I could fly far above our skies I would
You are my hope light and I know more than I should

Fly past twilight to my home, you are my hope light
if I could be yours too, I believe I might
This old cabin by the lake 
let us meet there one more time for my sake
There are no shadows of regret 
only memories of how we meant to turn out yet

When you feel as if you can not go on
I'll be here and hoping wishing for the dawn
Spirit-like I'd fly to you my hope light
Reason to go on, days left to ignite 

I will try to get there, home, home
swift be there, on the dock where sun once shone
Is there chance of just a memory
I will run there hope light free

Softly tread among the road
hope light guide me through night until home
Let the thunder frighten and lightning scare
Hope light just whisper and I'll be there
