The Light in the Window

I left with a storm in my chest
And a heart too proud to explain
Chasing a road I was sure I knew
Till I lost myself in the rain

I carried the words that I should have said
Like stones I could never lay down
And every mile took me farther away
From the ones who still wanted me around

But somewhere beyond the shadows
Past the cold and the bitter wind
There's a light that never stopped burning
Calling the wanderer home again

There's a light in the window
Shining through the night
Saying, "You are still remembered
You can still come home tonight"

Though the road may leave you broken
Though your faith may wear thin
There's a light in the window
And the door is open still

We kept your place at the table
Though the seasons came and went
We never stopped saying your name
Or wondering where you had been

There was never a debt you had to repay
Never a perfect word to begin
Love was never waiting to judge you
Love was only waiting to let you in

So turn your face from the darkness
Let the morning find you again
There's a light that never stopped burning
Calling the wanderer home again

There's a light in the window
Shining through the night
Saying, "You are still remembered
You can still come home tonight"

Though the road may leave you broken
Though your faith may wear thin
There's a light in the window
And the door is open still

Open still
Open still
No matter where you've been
The door is open still

What if I am not the person
That you remember anymore?
[Female Vocal]
You do not have to be who you were
To walk back through that door

What if all I bring is sorrow?
What if all I have is shame?

Then bring your sorrow to the table
Love will call you by your name

Every mile
Every scar
Every night beneath the stars
Could never take you far enough
To disappear from love

There's a light in the window
Blazing through the night
Saying, "You are still remembered
You can still come home tonight"

Let the road release its hold now
Let a new beginning start
There's a light in the window
And a fire inside our hearts

There's a light in the window
For the weary and the lost
For the ones who fear they wandered
Just a little bit too far

You are more than what has happened
You are more than where you've been
There's a light in the window
And the door is open still

The door is open still
The light is burning still
Come home
Come home
You are remembered still

The light is in the window
And we're waiting for you still
