Somebody Left the Light On | Cinematic Jazz-Gospel-Soul Anthem – Sable Arc

🕯️ SOMEBODY LEFT THE LIGHT ON — Sable Arc A cinematic gospel-soul song about reaching the end of yourself and discovering the door was never locked. Weathered baritone vocals, sparse piano, southern gospel harmony and a slow-burning choir build carry a story of shame, grace and finding your way home when you thought you’d gone too far. “I thought God had locked the door. I was wrong.” Somewhere in the darkness, the light was still on. 🎧 Somebody Left the Light On — Sable Arc Subscribe to Sable Arc for more original music. ──────────────────── LYRICS I thought God had locked the door I was wrong Two seventeen on a Tuesday morning Rain coming sideways across my coat I had twelve dollars A dead man's lighter And words I was too ashamed to quote There was an old church past the station One yellow window against the black I don't know why But I climbed those steps Like a man who had nowhere left to go back I said If You're in there I ain't much to see Then somewhere in the silence Something answered me Somebody left the light on Long after I was gone A little gold through the darkness Saying, son, you can still come home I brought no good excuses I had nothing left to hide Somebody left the light on And mercy was waiting inside Light on Light on Mercy was waiting inside No lightning split the ceiling No angel called my name Just an old wood floor A worn-out Bible And a candle with a crooked flame I sat down in the last row Where men like me know how to sit Close enough to hear salvation Far enough to run from it I said I've lied I've lost I've done what I've done Then that old room held me Like I was still someone's son Somebody left the light on Long after I was gone A little gold through the darkness Saying, son, you can still come home I brought no good excuses I had nothing left to hide Somebody left the light on And mercy was waiting inside Light on Keep the light on Light on Mercy waits inside I spent half my life Trying to earn What love was giving away I kept a list Of every debt He never asked me to pay So I laid my pride On that old church floor And finally understood Grace ain't the prize For the man who wins It's the door For the man who couldn't Oh Keep it burning Keep it burning Somebody left the light on Long after I was gone A river of gold through the darkness Saying, child, you can still come home I brought every scar and failure Every secret I denied Somebody left the light on And mercy was waiting inside When I had no prayer left The light was on When I had no road left The light was on When I couldn't forgive myself The light was on I thought Heaven had forgotten me The light was on I thought God had locked the door The light was on The light was on. ──────────────────── © Sable Arc / RF Studios #SableArc #SomebodyLeftTheLightOn #GospelSoul #ChristianMusic #NewMusic
