歌词
She said sometimes I look at you and all I can ask
Is where'd the time and how'd it go so damn fast
As you look to the future, I search through the past
And hope I've prepared you for all you'll be tasked
So I send you off with lessons from my mistakes
Knowing full well there'll be some that are yours to make
She said don't look down, lift your head higher
Shoot for the stars, but don't catch on fire
When you're tired, and want to come home
For you I'll leave that light on
There were miles between us, both feeling lost
Powered by love others said were star-crossed
With hands clasped and turned backs closed eyed penny toss
Cause just to give up would be too high a cost
So we promised that someday, someway, somehow
We'd come back to this place and reclaim this vow
We'd say don't look down, lift your head higher
Shoot for the stars, but don't catch on fire
When you're tired, and want to come home
For you I'll leave that light on
And when you're on your own
You'll always have a home
And when all hope is gone
For you I'll leave that light on
If there's one thing I know, it burns it all through my chest
Is you can't live a life if you're stuck in your head
Some think the worst thing in this life is death
But I think what's worse is a life if you let
The fear of falling stop you from taking flight
When you can't find your way, just look for the light, the light
Don't look down, no lift yourself higher
Shoot for the stars, but don't catch on fire
When you're tired, and want to come home
For you I'll leave that light on
Don't look down, no lift yourself higher
Shoot for the stars, but don't catch on fire
When you're tired, and want to come home
For you I'll leave that light on
