Show Me the Light - Noah Gundersen

I watched you watching Dylan like you’re watching a saint

And I could not help but notice everything he is I ain’t

So I filled up every notebook I could put to my hand

Hoping that you would not notice I was a boy and not a man

Back then

Singing you to sleep and making you laugh

Gave me a reason to work on my craft

Now that I’m older I finally see

You were the worst and the best thing that happened to me

I watched you watching Jesus like you’re watching a star

Started praying you’d find room for both of us in your heart

But the more I tried the more I’d find I could not pretend

To give a damn for your religion or for all your shitty friends

Back then

Every Sunday I would sit in your row

Praying that one day you would finally notice

But now that I’m older I finally see

You were the worst and the best thing that happened to me

Show me the light

Show me the light

I’ll take it from here honey

Show me the light

Show me the light

I’ll take it from here honey
