Title: Leave Your Light [Verse 1 ] I was raised beneath a wide-open sky, Where life itself taught me how to try. Daddy said, “My girl, when your time comes round, It ain’t what you own that keeps you around.” So I learned to work, I learned to give, Learned every heart deserves a chance to live. And somewhere down this winding road, I found a life worth more than gold. [Pre-Chorus] ‘Cause the years roll on like a river runs, And we’re only here beneath the sun For a little while… [Chorus] So leave your light as you walk away, Leave a little hope in the place you stay. A handprint on a heart that’s hurting, A kind word when the world stops turning. You don’t need your name carved into stone, Or a mountain of gold to call your own. If someone smiles because you made things right, That’s enough— Leave your light. [Verse 2] I remember an old man down our street, Had little to give but he’d share what he’d eat. Every Sunday he would open up his door, And somehow the poor never left feeling poor. Years went by and that old house came down, But his kindness still lives all over town. In every hand that reaches out to lend, In every stranger treated like a friend. [Pre-Chorus] And I’ve come to see what he always knew, The best of us lives on in what we do. Long after goodbye… [Chorus] So leave your light as you walk away, Leave a little hope in the place you stay. A handprint on a heart that’s hurting, A kind word when the world stops turning. You don’t need your name carved into stone, Or a mountain of gold to call your own. If someone smiles because you made things right, That’s enough— Leave your light. [Bridge] Maybe someday they’ll forget my name, Maybe the years will wash my face away. But if a child finds courage in something I said, If a broken heart gets stronger instead, [Bridge] If someone chooses love over fear, Then a little piece of me stays here. In every step someone takes in the dark, In every small act that lights a spark. [Bridge] In every heart that chooses what is right, In every soul that carries on the light. [Final Chorus] So leave your light as you walk away, Leave a little hope in the place you stay. A handprint on a heart that’s hurting, A kind word when the world stops turning. You don’t need your name carved into stone, Or a mountain of gold to call your own. If someone smiles because you made things right, That’s enough— Leave your light. [Final Chorus] So leave your light as you walk away, Let it shine long after your final day. Leave a little love wherever you go, Give someone strength when they’re feeling low. And when your road disappears into the night, Let the world remember what you left behind— Not gold, not fame, not a name in stone, Just a little light you carried home. [Outro] So when the last mile comes into view, And there’s nothing more that you can do, May someone say through tears and a smile, “You made this world brighter for a while.” [Soft vocal] Leave your light… Leave your light…
