We talk about faith
Like we know just what it is
But can I hold it in my fingers?
Can I hand it down to my kids?
When will they learn
That their daddy ain't bulletproof?
That he bleeds just like the rest?
Oh God, what if they knew?
Would they run to meet me at the door
When I came home each night
And what if I couldn't make it home
Would they leave on a light?
And would that light keep burning bright
By the entry door
If I couldn't find my way home anymore
Those little eyes
I wish I knew just what they see
'Cause when I look in this mirror
I ain't half the man they need
Would they run to meet me at the door
When I came home each night
And what if I couldn't make it home
Would they leave on a light?
And would that light keep burning bright
By the entry door
If I couldn't find my way home anymore
A tattered Bible in my hands
And tears upon my cheeks
I know you'll never understand
The darkest parts of me
Father forgive me
Lord have mercy on soul
If I couldn't find my way home anymore
Would they run to meet me at the door
When I came home each night
And what if I couldn't make it home
Would they leave on a light?
And would that light keep burning bright
By the entry door
If I couldn't find my way
Would they run to meet me at the door
When I came home each night
And what if I couldn't make it home
Would they leave on a light?
And would that light keep burning bright
By the entry door
If I couldn't find my way home anymore
