"Light On" Military Tribute (Music by David Cook)

Recording artist David Cook's single "Light On" is a powerful testament to the invincibility of love. I've used it to accompany a slideshow tribute to the troops in Iraq and their families. Whether you support the war or not, please keep a light of positivity and good thoughts shining in your hearts for the safe return of each and every man and woman stationed oversees. Hope you enjoy the video!
Lyrics:

Never really said too much Afraid it wouldnt be enough Just try to keep my spirits up When theres no point in grieving Doesnt matter anyway Words could never make me stay Words will never take my place When you know Im leaving Try to leave a light on when Im gone Something I rely on to get home One I can feel at night A naked light, a fire to keep me warm Try to leave a light on when Im gone Even in the daylight, shine on And when its late at night you can look inside You wont feel so alone You know weve been down that road What seems a thousand times before My back to a closing door and my eyes to the seasons That roll out underneath my heels And you dont know how bad it feels To leave the only one that I have ever believed in Try to leave a light on when Im gone Something I rely on to get home One I can feel at night A naked light, a fire to keep me warm Try to leave a light on when Im gone Even in the daylight, shine on And when its late at night you can look inside You wont feel so alone Sometimes it feels like weve run out of luck When the signal keeps on breaking up When the wires cross in my brain Youll start my heart again When I come along Try to leave a light on when Im gone Something I rely on to get home One I can feel at night A naked light, a fire to keep me warm Try to leave a light on when Im gone Even in the daylight, shine on And when its late at night you can look inside You wont feel so alone

Thank you so much for posting this! My hubby is on his first deployment...it has been rough. This song and video brings tears to my eyes, but it also reminds me of all the homecomings we had and are waiting for. This really meant a lot to me.
