Lights In The Windows

[Verse 1] I roll through streets where the snow has thinned Cold pavement hums under worn out tires Storefront clocks say the day is done Porch lights burn like patient fires Every window tells a different truth A table set, a laugh held tight Somebody waits, somebody prays Someone just needs the night to pass [Pre-Chorus] I have walked with a restless heart I have worn that quiet doubt But I see it now from the open road This town is calling out [Chorus] There are lights in the windows tonight Calling every lost soul home If you feel like you do not belong Those lights say you are not alone Every glow is a promise kept Every flame says stay awhile There are lights in the windows tonight And there is room for you inside [Verse 2] A living room with an old piano Hands still know a faithful song A child counts the minutes 'til morning Trying hard to sleep too long A single chair by a silent phone Coffee warm, the clock ticks slow Hope survives in smaller ways Than we ever learn to know [Pre-Chorus] I have felt that empty seat I have known that quiet ache But even now these streets remind No one walks this world alone [Chorus] There are lights in the windows tonight Calling every lost soul home If you feel like you do not belong Those lights say you are not alone Every glow is a promise kept Every flame says stay awhile There are lights in the windows tonight And there is room for you inside [Bridge] Not every house knows perfect peace Not every heart feels whole But love still lives in fragile forms In hands we choose to hold So if your road feels far too long If your faith feels paper thin Let the light you see tonight Teach you how to begin [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] There are lights in the windows tonight Calling every lost soul home If you feel like you do not belong Those lights say you are not alone Every glow is a promise kept Every flame says stay awhile There are lights in the windows tonight And there is room for you inside [Outro] I slow the car, I breathe it in This grace that fills the street I was never just passing through I was always meant to see The lights in the windows tonight
