LYRICS:
Dry bones rattle in a lonely soul
Slipped and fell into a deep black hole
I can tell you're lost, I'm here for you
Wildfires burning you down to stone
Blind eyes, turning from a world so cold
A million miles apart, within my reach
It's not like me to worry
But when I see you fading in the dark
I'll leave a light on for you
Through the long nights, I will be right
There for you if you drift too far
I'll leave a light on for you, you, you
Rain comes following an endless drought
To wash away the remnants of all your doubt
I hope that you'll see me looking out
It's not like me to worry
But when I see you fading in the dark
I'll leave a light on for you
Through the long nights, I will be right
There for you if you drift too far
I'll leave a light on for you
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Through the long nights, I will be right
There for you if you drift too far
I'll leave a light on for you, you, you

Two weeks ago, I was driving up north to unalive myself & heard "Leave a Light On" on the radio for the 1st time. I started sobbing & I'm a grown ass man. I pulled my truck over, found the Youtube video on my phone, and watched it on repeat until dawn the next day. It was the sign 🕊🕊 I needed... at the right time & in the right place. I turned my truck around, after thanking God for interceding with this song, went home, woke up my 2 daughters and hugged them for an hour... crying & hugging them. My youngest asked me, "What's wrong, Daddy?" Me: "Oh, this nice man named Jacoby helped your daddy out last night by leaving his light on for me." THANK YOU, JACOBY & PAPA ROACH!! 🙏😢❤

I'm a survivor. I tried 3 times. I now love myself. Took 50 years to get here. But I made it.

I’m 41 years old.

My senior year I got called out of class. I go down the hall way and a teacher of mine is walking towards me crying. She grabs my books and said, “Honey come with me.” We go out the front doors of my high school and there’s my principal, brother, his gf, step-dad and my mom. My stomach turned as my brother tells me our dad is gone. That was one of the worst days of my life. He took his life inside his Bodyshop. Then 14 years later my baby sister took her life.

I am here to tell you…. You are enough!! You are loved!! My heart goes out to everyone who suffers silently. We are not alone. I love you all ❤

[cemcan]

I wish Chester was alive to hear this one...

Thank you Papa Roach for this magnificent song 💗

[Earlysquadgoals]

One week ago i almost took my own life. I sat and prayed that someone would stop me. A random stranger sat and talked to me in the pouring rain and told me she liked me even though she didn't know me.

It meant so much to me.

Listen, no matter what someone loves you.

*I* love you

You are strong.

In case nobody told you today, you're beautiful, i love you and im proud of you .

I hope this message reaches the person who needs this most.


You're never alone 💌💌💌

Sober myself for 10 years. Now a father and a follower of Jesus. Amazing song!

[tirewire]

My father passed away 2yrs ago, I've wanted to leave this earth 12yrs ago, he told me that the weak take the easy way out, I give 110 percent everyday! I'll make you proud dad!

[cmadaras]

My husband tragically passed away 10wks ago. 14yrs of marriage we have 2 beautiful children together, 10 & 8, who miss their daddy so much. I play & sing this song to them now & forever, to let them know we are always here for them, even when the darkness & emotion gets too much. I hope you know how powerful the music you make helps us all in different ways. This is a beautiful mass up of different genre voices, Carrie was an amazing pick!

[james-broderick]

The sad part is, most people never see the person struggling with crippling depression. Because those people mask that side of themselves. Until it's too late.

[alexschubertcomedy]

This went from being the collaboration I didn’t know I needed to the collaboration I can no longer do without. Unreal.

[praetorian]

Papa Roach and Carrie Underwood is something I never would have thought happening. WOW!

[SIMN]

On june 13th, 2024, I stopped drinking after 21 years of binge drinking. I was as close as I could have been to end up my life, I was at the end of the road but somehow, now, I am 79 days sober and I have never felt better in my life. This song is incredible, thank you for it. Never stop trying to get better, you will succeed. We love Papa Roach.

[feliciafreitas]

My hubby took his life a year ago now. We have a 5 year old boy who loved his daddy. He was my soulmate and best friend. and this song just hits home. Makes me soo sad I wish I could have saved him. I miss him soo much. 😢 we need to spread mental health awareness more. We grew up listening to papa roach being 85 baby and I love Carrie underwood this was an amazing duet. I love you Robert Michael. R.I.P. my love 🙏🏼❤

[philcrosbie]

I've struggled with suicidal thoughts for most of my life. My faith in God and my support group are the only reason I'm still here. There's no shame in reaching out for help it doesn't make you weak. It takes true strength to pick up the phone and ask for help. This song will help so many people who are suffering in silence. I love Papa Roach!

[sarahbryson]

My Dad took his life 20 years ago. I am still here waiting with the light on Dad. I love you and I know if you could do it all
over you would be with me here today.

[raemarie]

To everyone: You are beautiful, you are worthy, you are capable of happiness, and you are loved.

[sasklion]

I swear Carrie Underwood can sing the ingredients off a soup can. Overflowing with talent!

[LveverGreed]

Just played this for my wife who is struggling with a recent stage 4 liver cancer that was found during a 3 weeks hospital stay fighting a bowel leak causing an infection. Her pain sometime leaves me without words to help ease it, this song took what i cant say and hopefully reminds her I am here for her and our 4 daughters. My wife is only 44 yrs old and our kids have many years to grow that she is afraid of missing.🙏❤️

My little brother Nathan lost his battle with depression and took his life nearly 16 years ago. This song resonates deep with me. I tell each of my kids multiple times a day that I love them & would rather listen to their sorrows for days than attend another funeral. They all know that this is my favorite song. I will scream from the treetops YOU BELONG HERE! I hope each and every one of you know that you are deeply loved. I love you all and am here to listen. I know I’m a stranger, but we are all in the metal family. I’ve got your back!

[tjgentry]

The fact that suicide is even an issue is devastating. Mental health should be put first and foremost. Don't ever make anyone feel any other kind of way than loved. We only have one life to live. Spread happiness and not hate. Learn to identify someone who is suffering. Just because someone smiles doesn't mean they are happy. And NEVER make someone feel ashamed for the way they feel. You never know what someone else has gone or is going through.

Much love ❤️
