A Small Flashlight Songtext
von Carrie Newcomer

The way is dark up ahead of me
The way is dark and I cannot see
What I love the most is a flashlight beam
Lighting up the way when I cannot see

The way unfolds like an open hand
The way unfolds like I didn′t plan
And only in looking back do we understand
That the way was true as an open hand


Over trials and trouble I've already come
And the net appeared when I needed one
Yes the road is dark and the ground is rough
Most the time a flashlight has to be enough

We move forward one step at a time
Wide-eyed and hopeful lost and half blind
Mistake by mistake we all learn to be kind
There is so much to see and to realize
If I could close my mouth and open up my eyes
And the world will tell us more than enough lies
But we′ll find our way with a small flashlight
