• He's missing from home,
    He misses his friends,
    He's told he'll be back,
    He just doesn't know when.

    He comes home from school,
    Tired of not knowing why,
    He's going through all of this,
    And he can't even cry.

    He keeps in touch with his friends,
    Or at least he tries,
    When he says he's okay,
    They don't know that he lies.

    He fights with his Dad,
    And he wants to go home,
    It's then that he realizes,
    He is alone.

    When he lays down to sleep,
    He closes his eyes,
    Something runs through his mind,
    And he smiles inside.

    This light of salvation,
    This glimmer of hope,
    It keeps him still going,
    At the end of his rope.

    Mostly it's God,
    Partly it's friends,
    But the light he holds on to,
    He'll hold on til the end.
