You're the only light that kept on burnin'
Even when I could not feel the flame
I'm the one you kept from overturnin'
All you had to do was say my name

You whispered me into places 
That I wouldn't go alone
You knew when to call me
Right back home
Anchor me or set me free
You knew when to comfort me
And you knew when to let me be alone

Chorus:
If there's time
Maybe this time
I can shine for you

You always ran just a little short of empty
Makin' sure that I was always full
You carried me when I was in deep waters
But you never left a ripple in the pool

(Chorus)

You've taken comfort
In the shadow I provide
It's time to shed some light
Upon the place you hide

(Chorus)
