Light Your Way Home

Light Your Way Home”

Verse 1

If the night falls heavy on you,

If the road turns cold and long,

I’ll gather every piece of me

And turn them into stars.

I’d cut my soul in a million fragments,

Let them shimmer in the dome—

Just to form a constellation

Bright enough to guide you home.

Chorus

I’ll light your way home, love,

Wherever you may roam.

Through the shadows, through the silence,

Through the places you feel alone.

I’ll be the spark inside the darkness,

The truth you’ve always known—

I’d give all of me in pieces

Just to light your way home.

Verse 2

And the parts of you you hide away,

The ones you think are wrong—

I’d write love poems to each one

Till they remember they belong.

I’d whisper to your trembling edges,

To the scars you never show—

“You are worthy, you are holy,

More than you will ever know.”

Chorus

I’ll light your way home, love,

Wherever you may roam.

Through the shadows, through the silence,

Through the places you feel alone.

I’ll be the spark inside the darkness,

The truth you’ve always known—

I’d give all of me in pieces

Just to light your way home.

Bridge

And if your heart grows haunted,

If the night begins to swell,

I’ll stand inside your shadows

Like a lantern in a well.

I’ll tell you I’m not frightened

Of the storms you hold inside—

Your darkness doesn’t scare me,

It’s the place where I’ll abide.

Verse 3

So when the world feels distant,

When your courage starts to roam,

Look up at the sky I’ve scattered—

Every star a piece of home.

And know that love like this is steady,

It’s a vow that won’t depart—

I’ll stand in the shadows of your heart

Till the light returns to start.

Final Chorus

I’ll light your way home, love,

Wherever you may roam.

Through the shadows, through the silence,

Through the places you feel alone.

I’ll be the spark inside the darkness,

The truth you’ve always known—

I’d give all of me in pieces

Just to light your way home.

Outro

So rest your weary spirit,

You’re never on your own—

I’m here in every heartbeat,

I’m the light that leads you home.
