One More Light

Last call hanging over the room

Three worn stools and a tired moon

I have played these strings to half-lit walls

For the bartender and the mirror ball

Counted tips like little borrowed time

Tried to make a future from a midnight rhyme

Every friend says let it go

Find a day job,

take it slow

Tonight I brought my case to close And leave this life with

one last note

So I look up through the smoke and haze Say,

give me one good reason to stay

If You hear me through this worn-out wire

Send a spark, send a little fire

Give me a sign before I put this dream down One small

light in this worn-out town If there's a road with my name

ahead Don't let it die here in my hands

Give me a sign,

I am holding on Even a whisper can prove me wrong I

have one prayer left in this heart tonight

Give me a sign

Then the front door sighed against the cold

In stepped a man with a face of old

He sat alone and he heard me through

Like every word was something true When I finished,

he took his time

Eyes held water, voice held mine

He said, son, I was lost that year Till a song like

yours pulled me back here

I felt the room stand still somehow

Like heaven had answered me right now

Not in thunder, not in flame Just mercy walking in with my

name

You were the sign before I laid this dream down A

living light in this worn-out town There is a road with my

name ahead I can feel it waking in my hands

You were the sign when I was almost gone Now every broken

string pulls me on I have a new fire in this heart

tonight

You were the sign

So I'll play till the morning shows

For the souls I may never know

One man walked in,

and my faith walked too

I asked for a sign,

and Heaven sent you
