(Verse 1)
I used to chase dreams down empty streets
With a hungry heart and worn-out feet
Every night I’d pray but never stay
Till I found your love to light the way
Now there’s laughter where silence used to live
And I’ve got more than I thought life could give
A quiet peace I’d never known
Since I built this house and made it home
(Chorus)
There’s a light in my home, and it shines so bright
Keeps me steady through the darkest nights
From a reckless past to a hopeful dawn
I found my place, and I’m holding on
There’s a little one’s laugh, and your hand in mine
I finally found where my stars align
Yeah, this simple life has set me free
This light in my home is all I need
(Verse 2)
Used to think that strength was made of stone
That a man stands tall when he stands alone
But your gentle voice taught me to see
That real strength’s love and family
Now I’m laying bricks for a safer day
With every check from this job I stay
The grind don’t break me, it makes me strong
For the ones I’ve loved all along
(Chorus)
There’s a light in my home, and it shines so bright
Keeps me steady through the darkest nights
From a reckless past to a hopeful dawn
I found my place, and I’m holding on
There’s a little one’s laugh, and your hand in mine
I finally found where my stars align
Yeah, this simple life has set me free
This light in my home is all I need
(Bridge – soft, emotional)
I’ve seen hell and I’ve seen chains
I’ve walked alone through the pouring rain
But one warm smile changed everything
Now I rise each day with a song to sing
(Chorus – final, soaring)
There’s a light in my home, and it shines so bright
Keeps me steady through the darkest nights
From a reckless past to a hopeful dawn
I found my place, and I’m holding on
There’s a little one’s laugh, and your hand in mine
I finally found where my stars align
Yeah, this simple life has set me free
This light in my home is all I need
(Outro – soft, fading)
Yeah, this light in my home… is all I’ll ever
