    Lyrics:
    The second someone mentioned you were all alone
    I could feel the trouble coursing through your veins
    Now I know, It’s got a hold
    Just a phone call left unanswered had me sparking up
    These cigarettes wont stop me wondering where you are
    Don’t let go
    Keep a hold
    If you look into the distance there’s a house upon the hill
    Guiding like a lighthouse
    its a place where you’ll be safe to feel our grace
    Cause we’ve all made mistakes, if you’ve lost your way
    And I will leave a light on
    I will leave a light on
    I will leave a light on
    I will leave a light on
    Tell me what’s been happening
    What’s been on your mind?
    Lately you’ve been searching for a darker place to hide
    That’s alright
    But if you carry on abusing you’ll be robbed from us
    I refuse to lose another friend to drugs
    Just come home
    Don’t let go
    If you look into the distance there’s a house upon the hill
    Guiding like a lighthouse
    its a place where you’ll be safe to feel our grace
    Cause we’ve all made mistakes, If you’ve lost your way
    I will leave a light on
    I will leave a light on
    I will leave a light on
    I will leave a light on
    If you look into the distance there’s a house upon the hill
    Guiding like a lighthouse
    It’s a place where you’ll be safe to feel our grace
    And if you’ve lost you way, if you’ve lost your way
    And I know your down and out now but I need you to be brave
    Hiding from the truth ain’t going to make this all okay
    I feel your pain; if you don’t feel our grace then you’ve lost your way
    And I will leave a light on
    I will leave a light on
    Cause I will leave a light on

    I'll tell you a little miracle 💙 my baby brother died on the 1st April, 💔, and this song is in his Spotify playlist. A week after his passing, my husband and I came home from being out for dinner and we went to turn our garage light off as we were walking inside. The light wouldn't turn off! My husband kept flicking the switch but the light remained on. So my husband took the light bulb out and the light still remained ON! My husband is holding an unscrewed light bulb in his hand and it's lit up, we took a picture of it 🥲 after that happened, I didn't realise until a few days later that this very song, was in my brothers playlist. "I will leave the light on" I truly believe it was him leaving the light on for us and sending signs 💙💙💙

    My mum died in November and I used to play this for her cos she loved it. She’d sing along to the chorus as best she could. Today is first day I’ve been able to listen to this again and I keep thinking how cool my mum was. At 73 years of age she could still spot a quality tune. This song will always have a special place in heart.

Listening to this song for the first time and going through the comments, have realized how much it means to so many people out there. No matter what you are going through, no matter the pain. Keep holding on and believing for a better day tomorrow. I hope with time you will heal, but above all things, may your mums memories remain alive in your life. Keep well

    I know this song is about addiction, but this song got me through some dark times where I was suicidal. I was alone and isolated and had nothing to live for, but then I heard this song, completely by chance. It was just a small bit, but I had to hear it again, and so I looked and looked and then I found it, and I listened to it so many times that I got myself the help I needed, because for the first time in a long while, I felt something other than nothingness. I know you’ll never see this, but thank you for this song. For saving me and helping me through my darkest time.

    1. One smile, can start a friendship. One word, can end a fight. One look, can save a relationship. One person can change your life.
    2. Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
    3. The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.
    4. If God shuts a door, stop banging on it. Trust that whatever is behind it is not meant for you.
    5. Sometimes, it's not the person you miss, but the feelings and moments you had with them.
    6. You can't be wise and in love at the same time.
    7. Let it all go. See what stays.
    8. A smart person knows what to say. A wise person knows whether or not to say it.
    9. There comes a times when you have to choose between turning the page and closing the book.
    10. A winner is just a loser who tried one more time.
    11. Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you don't concentrate on what you don't have, you'll never, ever have enough.
    12. The two hardest things to say in life are "Hello" for the first time, and "Goodbye" for the last time.
    13. Don't do something permanently stupid just because you are temporarily upset.
    14. Let go of what's gone, be grateful for what remains and look forward to what is coming.
    15. All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes.
    16. I set out to find flawed men and couldn't find any. When i finally peered inside myself though, there was no man more flawed then me.
    17. Don't love too soon, trust too quickly, quit too early, expect too high, talk too much.
    18. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.
    19. Judge not, that you be not judged.
    20. All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.
    21. Sometimes God's blessings are not what he gives; but in what he takes away. He knows best. Trust him.
    22. Alone and lonely are not the same thing.
    23. A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.
    24. Anger doesn't solve anything. It builds nothing, but it can destroy everything.
    25. Be careful with your words. Once they are said, they can only be forgiven, not forgotten.
    26. Most people do not listen with the intent to understand. Most people listen with the intent to reply.
    27. A fool shows off to get glory. A wise person stays quiet to find peace.
    28. Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
    29. Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very quiet id no birds sang there except those that sang best.
    30. In the end, you tried and you cared and sometimes, that is enough.
    31. If you are going through hell, don't stop, keep going.
    32. Sometimes God will put a Goliath in your life, for you to find the David within you.
    33. I do not get mad. I get distant.
    34. Sometimes the right path is not the easiest one.
    35. There is no such thing as losing. You either win or you learn.
    36. Experience is the hardest kind of teacher. It gives you the test and the lesson afterward.
    37. Make peace with your past to it won't screw up the present.
    38. What others think of you is none of your business.
    39. Time heals almost everything, give it time.
    40. Don't compare your life to others and don't judge them. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
    41. Stop thinking too much, it's alright not to know the answers, They will come to you when you least expect it.
    42. No one is in charge of your happiness, except you.
    43. Smile. You don't own all the problems in the world.
    44. Fear makes the wolf bigger then he is.
    45. Words hurt more than enything else can, because they last, sometimes forever.
    46. We all think of the Lord when troubled, never when at peace. But if we held our faith during peace. THere would be no trouble.
    47. Don't cry when the sun is gone, because the tears won't let you see the stars.
    48. Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.
    49. A negative mind will never give you a positive life.
    50. Humble enough to know I'm not better then anybody & wise enough to know that i'm different from the rest.
    51. Normality is a paved road: it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers walk on it.
    52. Worry ends when faith begins.
    53. A lack of knowledge create fear. Seeking knowledge creates courage.
    54. Don't trust everything you see. Even salt looks like sugar.
    55. Laughung is the best medicine, but if you laugh without any reason, you need medicine.
    56. The price of being a sheep is boredom. The price of being a wolf is lonelieness. Choose one of the other with great care.
    57. You may see me struggle but you will never see me fall.
    58. Belive you can and you're halfway there.
    59. Think outside the box.
    60. A bad attitude is like a flat tire. You can't go anywhere till you change it.
    61. The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better then it was, and the present worse than it is.
    62. Trust is like an eraser, it gets smaller with each mistake.
    63. Don't rush anything. When the time is right, it'll happen.
    64. When the past calls, don't answer. It has nothing new to say.
    65. Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.
    66. Just because I'm on a different path doesn't mean I'm lost.
    67. You never know how strong you are until being strong it the only choice you have.
    68. Foolish people seek happiness. The wise grow it under their feet.
    69. Sometimes later becomes never.
    70. Never trust your tongue when your heart is bitter.
    71. Most of the important things have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope.
    72. Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle and the life that the candle with not be shortened. Happiness never decreases from being shared.
    73. You can't have a better tomorrow is you're still thinking about yesterday.
    74. If your ship donesn't come in, swim out to it.
    75. What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters caompared to what lies within us.
    76. What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday.
    77. Let's not compare whose sadness weighs heavier, if we drown we will both sink to the ocean floor.
    78. Be careful who you trust, the devil was once an angel.
    79. Common sense doesn't come with a degree.
    80. A single lie discovered is enough to create doubt in every truth expressed.
    81. Affliction comes to use, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise.
    82. An apology is the superglue of life. It can repair just about anything.
    83. You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.
    84. Keep walking through the storm. Your rainbow is waiting on the other side.
    85. When a flower doesn't bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.
    86. Do not promise when you are happy.
    87. When you are angry, do not respond.
    88. Do not decide when you are sad.
    89. Ask and you shall receive.
    90. A hungry wolf is stronger than a satisfied dog.
    91. A wise man once said nothing.
    92. The hardest things to let go of are the things you never really had.
    93. Be strong enough to stand alone, be youself enough to stand apart, but be wise enough to stand together when the time comes.
    94. Forget what hurt you, remember what it taught you.
    95. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is nothing.
    96. Just because you think you're worthless deosn't make it true.
    97. Don't waste your words on people who deserve your silence.
    98. Sometimes the biggest smile contains the most pain.
    99. Be smart enough to forgive.

    This song brings back so much.
    I was an alcoholic for 4 years. I was self medicating because I was so alone since leaving home and being cooped up in my apartment for so long everyday all alone. It took me through my grandpa getting sick when I’m sitting by him in his hospital bed he took my hand and told me “When I’m gone, promise me one thing, let me look over the grandson I always knew and loved. Get clean.. Not just for me, but for you. I don’t wanna see you up there before anyone else.” That was it. I took the step and got clean. I interpret the lyrics in the way that no matter what you’re not alone. There’s people in the same situation as you. And even if you get lost down the road, or feel alone or struggle with ANYTHING in life, just like my struggle with Alcohol, there will always be the one place or one person who will always welcome you with open arms.The house up on the hill. Which for me, was Rehab. There will always be somewhere where they will welcome you even if you have made mistakes.. we all do. And if you lose track of what you started, there will always be someone or something that will leave a light on to get you back on track. 🤞🏼☝🏻❤️

I was self harming at the time and I couldn't cope. One day it was real bad and my mom sat me down and said she was getting worse and that she might go soon, 2 minuets later she got a call to say come in I was there in her last moments and I lost my best friend that night. Ik that I don't have it bad ik people have it much worse but I just wanted to share.

This song hits me to my core like none other.

You still have all that success. Fight for today! Yesterday means nothing. Fight today to be in a better position to make it for tomorrow! Everything we go through is just a lesson to share that strength tomorrow. Strength is forged when pain is turned to compassion and empathy. This is just GOD's way of preparing you continue to be his instrument in the future. If we are alive then hope is present. Much love my Dude!!❤️ 🙏💪🤘🫡

      (Ex alcoholic and addict here: What made me beat it was 1 question: How badly do (did) I want it (to be the best me I can be). It took me 2 years with the drink, and 2 years with the substances, but I WANTED it enough to eventually say "fuck addiction!", and I did. Like Avicci said: "One day, you'll leave this world behind
      So live a life you will remember". Don't lie on your death bed and have only regrets to take to the grave...

    4 years ago I played this song to my bestfriend who came out of ice addiction and she was struggling bad. I told her to play this song whenever she feels alone because I'll always leave a light on for her no matter what mistakes she makes, because we all lose our way.
    She was suicidal and in a bad state. She had always been depressed since I met her at the age of 13 and that's why we got along so well- because we were always there for each other.
    2 months ago she intentionally drove her car off the road and died. My heart is broken, my light was always on for her and now she's gone. This song means more to me than anything.

They may never be the same but it WILL get better than it is now i promise.

    This song is so good but it makes me so sad. My wife completed suicide 6 months ago and I cry when I hear this song just thinking about her struggle and how much pain she carried in her life up to that point. It breaks my heart that I she couldn't see the goodness that was all around her because it was just too dark in her world. If anyone reading this is considering taking your life, please hear me out - your light shines so much brighter than you think it does in this world. The lie in my mind is that you think nobody will care. My wife thought the same thing. But at her funeral, people showed up and just had an outpouring of love for her. One person after another shared how profoundly she had touched their lives and the hole that was left without her being in it. Most of those people hadn't seen her in years, if not decades, but they carried her light with them in their lives and it was painful for all of us when that light went out. It's a horrible horrible lie that this is the best way to get a break, or to get rest, or to get hope - just like the saying goes: it's a very permanent solution to a temporary problem (even if the problem seems like it's permanent).

I would highly encourage you to talk to someone, anyone you trust, if you ever feel low like that. I have never felt that in my life until my wife died - then I out myself on suicide watch for a long time after that. It was the most embarrassing thing I've had to do, because i had to admit that i was struggling in a way I never had before...maybe the most embarrassing thing is ever done. But looking back, it shouldn't be. There have been so many people that have shared with me that they struggle (since Ang died) and I think this is a much more common struggle than people realize, but it just feels so lonely when we're in the middle of it! (At least, it did for me, and i know it did for my wife). Anyway, I'm sorry for the unsolicited advice. This is just very close to my heart now.

I’m so glad I got out of it

    A few nights ago on the 19th of January 2019, my mother was celebrating her birthday with her friends at a music festival when suddenly she had a 4th degree brain hemorrhage, which from what I've learnt from the doctors means that a blood vessel in her brain burst and started bleeding severely. She then had a seizure, and later at the hospital had another brain hemorrhage. She nearly died, and has been in a coma since that horrible night. It's now the 23rd of January 2019, so it has only been a few nights and there is still a risk of her never waking up or being in a completely vegetative state, but our family and friends and I are praying for her to wake up. When (yes, I am saying when) she wakes up she will obviously have a lot of brain damage, and I am praying that she will overcome the depression and suicidal thoughts that a lot of people with her injuries have experienced. I am praying she remembers me and my sister and her family, and I am praying that the effects of her brain damage are things that can be relearned (such as talking, walking, if she forgets how to do either of those then she can relearn them hopefully), and that her permanent effects will not be too severe. I am 14 years old and my mother has to attend my graduation, my wedding, and one day meet her grand kids, so she can't leave yet and I'm visiting her everyday until she wakes up. I might not be able to visit everyday when school starts, but I will be visiting as often as I can. But anyway, this song reminds me of her. I listened to it over and over after I heard about her condition. My mother was never a drug addict or anything or that sort, in fact she was perfectly healthy and we've speculated that the most likely cause of her brain hemorrhages is because of an accident that happened back in December when she accidentally tripped and hurt her forehead on a stage and never got it checked out at a hospital. But this song still reminds me of her. She is being heavily medicated and drugged to keep her in her unconscious state for the time being so her brain can start to heal, and I talk to her and message her everyday and I want her to know that when she wakes up, I am going to be with her for the rest of her life and I will support her and love her so much everyday. And that when things get rough for her due to her condition, I'll leave a light on for her and help her get through it and love herself.
    If you are someone who knows somebody going through a hard time, no matter what it is, here is my word of advice on how NOT to comfort them. My friend today messaged me and asked how my mother was doing in hospital. I replied, then my friend proceeded to message something along the lines of "cool okay so how has everything else been going? by the way, I'm selling phone cases for 10 dollars, so let me know what pattern and colour you would like if you want one!!".
    She did a couple other similar things too these past few days but it isn't really appropriate for me to complain too much on here.
    Needless to say, she is not my friend anymore. And I don't care if she is just a dumbass 14 year old.
    If you have a friend who is going through a hard time, do NOT trick them into thinking that you actually give a damn. If you truly care and feel sorry for your friend, please offer your support as they really do need it during their grieving process, and for a long time afterwards. But if you don't give a damn and are going to just pretend that you do for your own personal benefit, fuck off.
    (I'm rereading this after my most recent edit on the 4th of March, and the friend mentioned here has apologised for the inappropriate ways she reacted that I haven't mentioned here, so I am now on good terms with her, but this still applys)
    This got off topic, but thank you so much Tom Walker for this masterpiece, it's so touching and I've read a lot of the comments and clearly your song has touched so many other hearts as well as mine. Thank you so much for helping all of us, and to anyone reading this, I wish you and your loved ones good luck for the future, I hope you all stay in good health or your health improves, and I hope your recovery processes are successful. Goodnight or goodmorning to you

    But every now and again you hear words in a song that you hear know matter how much your concentrating on what you are doing.
    You hear these words as they mean so much to you.
    So its only now ive sat and listened to the whole song.
    Im lucky that i made it to the house up on the hill.
    This song could switch the switch of the people who need it if it was played more.

    The second someone mentioned you were all alone
    I could feel the trouble coursing through your veins
    Now I know, it's got a hold
    Just a phone call left unanswered, had me sparking up
    These cigarettes won't stop me wondering where you are
    Don't let go, keep a hold
    If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill
    Guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you'll be
    Safe to feel our grace 'cause we've all made mistakes
    If you've lost your way
    I will leave the light on
    I will leave the light on
    I will leave the light on
    I will leave the light on
    Tell me what's been happening, what's been on your mind
    Lately you've been searching for a darker place
    To hide, that's alright
    But if you carry on abusing, you'll be robbed from us
    I refuse to lose another friend to drugs
    Just come home, don't let go
    If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill
    Guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you'll be
    Safe to feel our grace 'cause we've all made mistakes
    If you've lost your way
    I will leave the light on
    I will leave the light on
    I will leave the light on
    I will leave the light on
    I will leave the light on
    If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill
    Guiding like a lighthouse, it's a place where you'll be
    Safe to feel our grace and if you've lost your way
    If you've lost your way (I will leave the light on)
    And I know you're down and out now, but I need you to be brave
    Hiding from the truth ain't gonna make this all okay
    I see your pain, if you don't feel our grace
    And you've lost your way
    I will leave the light on
    I will leave the light on
    'Cause I will leave the light on

    This song made me cry so much. I have struggled with alcoholism for years and my family is still there and they're still my lighthouse. It's such a beautiful song that brought me to my knees. One day at a time right?

    I was bullied throughout my entire life. Tried to commit suicide multiple times. Almost never spoke or smiled. Never drew or read books anymore. I was and still am broken. Now I struggle with stress and the pressure to please my parents. When I first heard this song, I was having a bad day. This song.... it's an insperarional masterpiece that gives me the faith to hope for a brighter future.
    Tom Walker, I thank you. I thank you with my whole soul. You saved me from a lifetime of hardships. You are a legend in my soul, and always will be. Thank you.
    (Oh my lord, so many likes and replies! Guys, I thank every single one of you with every inch of my soul. Thanks to you, I feel like I can take on the world without having to come crashing down again. I feel happier and braver. I want to help others who had pasts like mine and make the world a better place because of you guys. I'm crying right now. Thank you. Thank you.)

    This song.I used to send to my friend who I thought no matter what, he was going to die. He carried his moms ashes everywhere he went. My brother is now almost 6 years sober. Now he’s an addiction councillor. And that man I was so scared of dying with his moms ashes.. he’s been sober over a year. Thank you , so very much

    This song has a different meaning to me, two years ago my grandma passed away after 12 years of cancer, I still remember this song on the radio when my dad was driving me and mom back to our house after visiting my grandma in the hospital, it was a dark summer night, my grandma passed away the next day.
    I miss you so much grandma, I miss your food, your smile when I come to visit you, I’m so sorry for not showing you how much I love you, and take for granted, you were the last pure soul on this planet.
    I love you.

      @@johnjimmarston Music resonates with people differently. The artist's interpretation and the emotion the listener feels are allowed to be disconnected. That's how music works. I think you need to work on your sympathy, and less on trying to correct others.
