Light the Way

Light the Way

One foot forward,
That’s how you keep walking
One word slides out,
That’s how they keep on talking
The past is just a vague partner,
Just a part of the show
But when it’s time to turn off the lights,
I can’t let it go

Light the way,
Light the way for me
Such a long time I’ve been alone
Lay awake,
Lay awake with me
Then any hole I live in I can call my home

Just a few, a few little things,
Little things I know
How to look ahead to the brighter days,
But still I can’t let it go

Someone say,
Someone say to me
That maybe one day I can come into my own
Light the way,
Light the way for me
Such a long time I’ve been alone

Downtown there’s a thousand little people,
Going about a thousand little lives
Just a mess, all kinds of footsteps,
That all kind of pass me by
There’s a bunch of towers, all steel and stone,
Grabbing out like fingers at the sky
Dotted all up with a thousand windows,
A thousand points of citylight
Pretty machines all sleek and clean,
Just going along for the ride
Little worlds can end with a bang like thunder
Or fade out like a little sigh
Open up the curtains and stare into the sun,
Or hide behind the window blinds
One thing is certain when it’s all said and done,
It’s still a thousand points of citylight
