Can I Be That Light?

come the day I die
when I am looking back upon my life
wondering if I
have been the friend I needed by my side

come the day I die
when I see the first time I saw you there
trying to keep my heart
from falling over backwards in his chair

come the day I die
when I think how my parents helped me grow
can I be that light
unto the children I might call my own?
can I be that light?
come the day I die... can I be that light?
