"Just as drowning cannot be equated with swimming, mere existence is not the same as abundant life. We have been offered a new way to live - a new way to be human."
-Jon Foreman (lead singer of Switchfoot)

David Cook - Light On Lyrics
Never really said too much Afraid it wouldn’t be enough Just try to keep my spirits up When there’s no point in grieving Doesn’t matter anyway Words could never make me stay Words will never take my place When you know I’m leaving
(Chorus) Try to leave a light on when I’m gone Something I rely on to get home One I can feel at night A naked light, a fire to keep me warm Try to leave a light on when I’m gone Even in the daylight, shine on And when it’s late at night you can look inside You won’t feel so alone
You know we’ve been down that road What seems a thousand times before My back to a closing door and my eyes to the seasons That roll out underneath my heels And you don’t know how bad it feels To leave the only one that I have ever believed in
[Chorus]
Sometimes it feels like we’ve run out of luck When the signal keeps on breaking up When the wires cross in my brain You’ll start my heart again When I come along
[Chorus]
