I'Ll Leave the Light On

The sun is rising and baby, this day is mine.
Your boat just can’t get us across.
I can give you no more time.
 
So hold my hand while I find us a way.
I will search for what you’ve buried
And find real hope, using the light of day.
 
Who we are, is where we go from here.
So say your peace,
Because who we are, will not be our fear.
 
Night will come with a darkness that you can’t take.
But don’t worry, I’ll leave the light on.
So sleep now; I’ll be here when you wake.
