Let me be the light

Hey love, I see you when you walk in late,

Boots by the door, shoulders full of weight.

You say the world’s been kicking you around,

I hear the tired underneath the sound.

You talk about the bills, the days gone wrong,

All the reasons why it’s been so hard so long.

But when I look at you, all I can see

Is the man who keeps showing up for me.

So let me be the light when your sky goes dark,

Let me remind you who you really are.

I know life’s heavy, I know it’s tough,

But baby, you’ve already done enough.

You don’t have to carry it all alone,

I’m right here, this heart is home.

If you forget how strong you are,

Let me be the light in the dark.

I know you get stuck on the bad sometimes,

Every wrong turn, every uphill climb.

You miss the good that you built with your hands,

This life, this love, this solid ground.

You’ve got a habit of seeing the worst,

Like hope’s something you’re scared to curse.

But I see blessings in your tired grin,

And I feel lucky just loving you.

So let me be the light when your sky goes gray,

When all you see is what won’t change.

I won’t rush you, I won’t push too hard,

Just stand beside you right where you are.

When the noise gets loud and your faith feels small,

Lean into me, I’ll catch it all.

If you forget how bright you shine,

Let me be the light this time.

You don’t have to be strong every day,

You don’t have to chase the hurt away.

You’re allowed to rest, you’re allowed to breathe,

You’re allowed to need me.

I didn’t choose you for easy roads,

I chose you ’cause your heart feels like home.

So let me be the light when you’re worn and tired,

When the spark feels gone, when the hope’s expired.

I’m not going anywhere, I’m here for life,

Every high, every low, every fight.

I’m blessed to love the man you are,

Every scar, every open heart.

And if the world keeps testing your faith,

I’ll stand beside you and help you stay.

So come home, love, lay it down,

All that weight you’ve been dragging around.

You bring the strength, I’ll bring the light,

And we’ll be alright — yeah, we’ll be alright.
