Verse 1

 My Father called me up

 Said you better come home

 We heard from the doctor

 and I don't think I can tell her on my own.

 We found a dark spot in your mother's chest

 I try to hold it all together but I'm such a mess

Pre Chorus:

All you lost and all you gain

 Sometimes things just can't stay the same

All you lost and all you gain

 Sometimes things just can't stay the same

Chorus

 And I'm almost home

 Right where I'm suppose to be

 Well, I'm almost home

 Won't you leave a light on for me.

(break)

cause I'm almost home...

Verse 2

She use to take my photograph every first day of school

 She use to teach me how to fight so I'd be nobody's fool.

Pre Chorus:

All I lost and all I gain

 Sometimes things just can't stay the same

Chorus

 And I'm almost home

 Right where I'm suppose to be

 Well, I'm almost home

 Won't you leave a light on for me.

 cause I'm almost home...

Bridge

 I'm on a dark field. Running down hill.

 On a north born sky. Light will never end.

The light!

(small solo followed by a pause)

Chorus

Well, I'm almost home

 Right where I'm suppose to be

And I'm almost home

 Won't you leave a light on for... Shine on me!

Chorus

almost home

 Right where I'm suppose to be

Well, I'm almost home

 Back to these familiar streets.

 (break) (end on )

cause I'm almost home...
