Leave a little light on when you go
Leave a little light on so I'll know
That you'll always hear me when I call home
Leave a little light on, leave a little light on

Man, it's hard to stay alive sometimes
So hard to sleep alone at night
Many people gonna spread some lies and
Many more gonna wear disguises
Keep laughing in spite of the darkness
Keep laughing in the faces of the heartless
Leave a little light on when you go

Man, it's hard to be alive sometimes
So hard you want to run and hide
We wander long, we wonder why
Everyone you know is gonna die
Foolish hearts, immaculate garden
All that living only getting harder
Leave a little light on when you go

Time takes everything eventually

Leave a little light when you go
Leave a little light on so I'll know
That you'll always hear me when I call home
Leave a little light on, leave a little light on
