second chances

Little light, are you listening?
Little light, I have so much to show you

I'm a house with the light on
On the path when you'e walking in darkness
Your clothes might be dirty and covered with blood
But I'll still have a hot meal here waiting

And you have a spirit that holds like a hand
And your heart is a safe place for others to land
Just remember this one thing and you'll make me proud
Second chances are always allowed

Little light people see you
As a person that they can look up to

They will come with their questions
Even when you don't have any answers
I ask you to look past their dirt and their blood
A hot bath and forgiveness are weighty

And you have two hands made to raise others up
And you have two clear eyes to see others with love
When they call you for guidance, make sure that you know
Second chances will help them to grow

But a fire unfed can grow dim
Betrayal can steal all the kindling within
The choices of family and friends disappoint
And it's always your job to be bigger than them
You are tired, you're feeling unsure
You don't know if you're all that good anymore
You want to hold onto your anger a while
'cause your build to hold everyone else's
But this one is yours

Little light, are you listening?
Little light, just look up, I'm beside you

You don't need to be perfect
Even when you're surrounded by dark
You see paths that need lighting, including your own
And I'm there with my arms open, waiting

And you have a purpose — it's hard and it's grand
But I'll always be holding your heart and your hand
When you rebuild my temple, it's true even now
Second chances are always allowed
