[00:24.69]The house got quiet after you went
[00:30.61]Your boots still dusted by the door
[00:36.44]I don't ask heaven where you are
[00:42.17]I just sweep the floor
[00:48.05]Your room stayed the way you left it
[00:53.82]I never moved a thing
[00:59.42]Even time learned to walk soft
[01:05.78]When it hurt to breathe
[01:09.39]I kept the light on through the night
[01:14.20]Not because I knew you'd come
[01:20.24]But fathers don't turn lovers
[01:25.76]Just because the road gets long
[01:32.46]If you ever lose your way
[01:37.49]Or forget where you belong
[01:43.52]You'll see it burning from a distance
[01:49.68]I kept the light on
[01:55.38]Your mother prayed harder than me
[02:01.06]She said, "God counts every tear"
[02:06.83]Now a chair stays empty
[02:12.13]But a faith and still right here
[02:17.15]Some nights, my hands shake holding scripture
[02:23.67]Some nights I just sit still
[02:29.65]Waiting ain't weakness, son
[02:35.79]It's an act of will
[02:39.98]I kept the light on through the dark
[02:45.03]When hope felt almost gone
[02:50.76]I learned silence has a language
[02:56.10]That only love speaks on
[03:02.07]If the world breaks your heart
[03:08.58]Like it broke mine once
[03:13.51]You'll know this house remembers you
[03:20.17]I kept the light on
[03:27.20]I don't need apologies
[03:31.85]I don't need reasons why
[03:37.24]The door don't ask questions
[03:43.05]It just opens wide
[03:47.37]I kept the light on every year
[03:52.37]Through the winters and the falls
[03:58.14]If you come back a different man
[04:03.37]I still know who you are
[04:08.37]And if God calls me home before
[04:15.78]I hear you say my name
[04:21.73]Tell him I waited faithful
[04:27.63]And I kept the light on
[04:41.48]The night don't scare me anymore
[04:47.26]I've done my part
[04:56.32]There's a lamp in the window
[05:03.17]And peace in my heart
[05:11.42]🎵
