Light I Keep Prayin’ For

Saw you runnin’ through the seasons, always fightin’ through the pain,

Carryin’ heavy on your shoulders from a storm that left a stain.

Home don’t always feel like home, and the nights get hard to breathe,

But you keep showin’ up with courage that the world don’t always see.

You lead the team with quiet fire, lift the broken when they’re down,

Even when your heart feels empty, you still help them turn around.

And I’ve been prayin’ through the sunrise, through the miles and every meet,

That you know your worth is deeper than the medals at your feet.

You’ve been pushed, you’ve been pulled, you’ve been doubted before,

But the Lord’s got a plan that’s worth runnin’ for.

Even as you grow older, go further, leave town —

I pray you hold tight to the faith you have now.

’Cause you’re a light I keep prayin’ for,

More than a runner on a record board.

You’re a story that God’s still writin’,

A spark that keeps on fightin’.

And if the world gets dark outside your door,

I hope you know you’re loved, worth fightin’ for.

Yeah, wherever you go, whatever you’re facin’ —

You’re a light I keep prayin’ for.

I’ve watched you carry heartbreak like it’s just another mile,

Holdin’ tension in your shoulders, still you show up with a smile.

A home that doesn’t always lift you, a world that wants you drained,

But every step you take in faith says you’re stronger than the pain.

I’ve seen God move in your story, even when you couldn’t tell,

In the laughs between the long runs, in the battles where you fell.

And when graduation comes, when the road pulls you away —

I’ll still be prayin’ that your faith is something you don’t let fade.

If you forget your worth someday,

If the voices get too loud…

If the burdens weigh you down,

And you’re lost inside the crowd…

Just remember who you are —

A daughter of the King,

A fighter with a purpose,

Made for more than everything.

I’ll keep prayin’ from a distance, even when you’re movin’ on,

That your heart stays wrapped in Jesus, when the world feels wrong.

Yeah, you’re a light I keep prayin’ for,

More than a runner they’re cheerin’ for.

You’re a leader with a heart worth savin’,

A soul the Lord’s still shaping.

And if the nights get cold outside your door,

I hope you know you’re loved, worth fightin’ for.

And wherever life pulls you, whatever you’re chasin’ —

You’re a light I keep prayin’ for.

Yeah, you’re a light I keep prayin’ for,

More than a runner they’re cheerin’ for.

You’re a leader with a heart worth savin’,

A soul the Lord’s still shaping.

And if the nights get cold outside your door,

I hope you know you’re loved, worth fightin’ for.

And wherever life pulls you, whatever you’re chasin’ —

You’re a light I keep prayin’ for.
