[Verse 1]
Started as a baby, just a couple years old
My momma left my daddy for a couple of boys
And then a few months passed, we took a step back
For you to say, "Jack, hit the road"
Now I'm on the back street jammin', me, bro, and pops
Little nineties rock, a little bit of hip-hop
Kept on waitin' for the pain to stop
Like y'all been waitin' for this beat to drop
I gotta boom-boom-clap to the bang of the drum
I gotta click-click-track, hear the microphone
Now the time it ticks to the talk of this song
Like it's perfect timing, no one giving me a momma
Don't get me wrong, I love my mother
And I do believe that we lovе one another
And I know someday wе gonna see each other
But the next verse is about a selfless lover

[Verse 2]
Stepped in my life when I was four years young
Had so many reasons you could've run
And probably should've run, it would've been more fun
But you never gave up on anyone
I know you had it hard, carved a few scars
And you found God and got a brand new start
Within the fog we made a love strong bond
But the words you told me never left my heart
Singin', don't give up, press it on
If you want it you can do it, go get it and gone
And don't give into the beat because of anyone
So when it all falls down, keep that light on
[Chorus]
Every single day I sing this song (Keep that light on)
I can't live this way, gotta flip the switch just to keep that light on
Everything I say comes out wrong (Keep that light on)
I can't live this way, gotta flip the switch just to keep that light on

[Verse 3]
Now I'm so sick and tired of even people tryna tell me how to live my life
Like I don't lose enough sleep at night just thinkin' about the way I'm gonna make it all right
So I look to find some favor from my family and friends
They only ever tell me that I'm being selfish
It's all about me, everybody chants
Me, me, me, me, here I am
This is me, this is my life, and I'm sorry if it offends you guys
But I'm done tiptoeing over broken ice
Just wonderin' if the strive is even worth my time
I just need to find love in a happy place
You told me that I'm homely but my feelings break when I step into the door and then I hear you say you're ashamed of the man that I am today
No it's not my place, not at all
Just really think the family should just along
But it's not much time left on this bomb
Tickin' in my brain, I'm about to go off

[Chorus]
Every single day I sing this song (Keep that light on)
I can't live this way, gotta flip the switch just to keep that light on
Everything I say comes out wrong (Keep that light on)
I can't live this way, gotta flip the switch just to keep that light on
[Outro]
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine (Keep that light on)
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine (Keep that light on)
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine (Keep that light on)
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine (Keep that light on)
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine (Keep that light on)
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine (Keep that light on)
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine (Keep that light on)
