Song Information:

This is a song about what I've seen some guys do to their families when they get lost in the bottom of a bottle. I had a hard time picking a genre for this one. Let me know if you think it's out of place.

Song Lyrics:

Their Light

Theres a boy that I know
Hes only eight years old
And he lies awake at night
Clutching his pillow
Cause he know that soon
Youll be coming home
And thats when the fighting starts
So he lies there
Terrified in the dark

Theres a girl that I know
She stands about three foot four
And she just doesnt quite understand
What all the yellings for
So she climbs out of her bed
And runs to her Mamas side
And gentley
Wipes the tears from her eyes.

Chorus:
How can you not understand
What your doing to your kids
This selfish way of existence
Is just no way to live
You see you made a deal with the Lord
The day you gave them life
To be more than a Dad
To be their light

You must know therell come a time
When you boy will loose his way
And hell need someone there strong
To guide him through that day
I know youll never see it coming
Through the bottom of that fifth
But its his life
That youll be paying with

Chorus:
How can you not understand
What your doing to that kid
This selfish way of existence
Is just no way to live
You see you made a deal with the Lord
The day you gave him life
To be more than his Dad
To be his light

Now Ive seen her at her best
And now is not that time
You see shes barely holding on
To what she feels inside
Now she sees so much in you
More than anybody else
And its killing her
To watch you kill youself

Chorus:
How can you not understand
There more to life than this
Your selfish way of existence
Is just no way to live
You see you made a deal with the Lord
The day you her your wife
To be more than her man
To be her light
Now be more than you are
Be their light
