..I did the best I could.. Looking for the Light 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 know she was there in her bedroom, so I tip-toed down the hall Laid my head on the floor and tried to see under her door **CHORUS** I was looking for the light When it was on I knew everything was alright 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 foung a one room apartment has monsters of its own So sometimes I go out and drive by that old house (Repeat chorus) ----- 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 ................................................................
