Searching For A Light

Well, you come out of nowhere like a small-town force of nature

A greater generation comin' back to show its face

Long before the world would ask you what you had to offer

Some old busted banjo pickin' out "Amazing Grace"

Find me in the darkness past bridges I left broken

A heart that's cut wide open like a child that's gone astray

Forgive me of my nonsense, I'm still out here chasin' shadows

And searchin' for a light I never thought would go away

Well, I don't know a world without you, but I'm safe in sayin'

Contrast and the color woulda lost their clarity

That old piano goin' out of tune with no one playin'

In the bedroom of a farmhouse built in 1923

Find me in the darkness past the bridges I left broken

Like a heart that's cut wide open, like a child that's gone astray

Forgive me of my nonsense, I'm still out here chasin' shadows

And searchin' for a light I never thought would go away

Well, I could spend a lifetime makin' somethin' out of sorrow

But I will not trade tomorrow for pain I feel today

So I pull my collar closer and I let the wind blow by me

I've got no tears left to cry about the world that's gone away

Find me in the darkness past the bridges I left broken

Feel like a heart that's cut wide open, like a child that's gone astray

Forgive me of my nonsense, I'm still out here chasin' shadows

And searchin' for a light I never thought would go away
