light of the world

I see the light of the world it shines so bright

I know now that it waits up at night

you made sure that I was safe no matter where I was you asked where I was going

I thought then that you were prying I see now that you were trying

I cry now because I will no longer see your face

the lord decided that it was time to take you from this place he has called you home

I can see the light of the world it shines so bright you will never again be waiting up in the dark you know who I am and you see my good deeds

I hope you know that I will never let your memory fade

it’s time to go turn on the lights close the shades

I see the light of the world it shines so bright I will see you again

when you once more wait up for me on that long dark night

I see the light of the world it shines so very bright
