"LIGHT ON" LYRICS on DavidCookOfficial.com
Here are the lyrics to the new single courtesy of David! This is a DavidCookOfficial.com exclusive!!
LIGHT ON
Never really said too much
Afraid it wouldn’t be enough
Just try to keep my spirits up
When there’s no point in grieving
Doesn’t matter anyway
Words could never make me stay
Words will never take my place
When you know I’m leaving
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it’s late at night you can look inside
You won’t feel so alone
You know we’ve been down that road
What seems a thousand times before
My back to a closing door and my eyes to the seasons
That roll out underneath my heels
And you don’t know how bad it feels
To leave the only one that I have ever believed in
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it’s late at night you can look inside
You won’t feel so alone
Sometimes it feels like we’ve run out of luck
When the signal keeps on breaking up
When the wires cross in my brain
You’ll start my heart again
When I come along
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it’s late at night you can look inside
You won’t feel so alone

Bodyguards
David,
I failed to ask if your bodyguards (friends) could filter out a few locals for a drawing (after contributions, purchases, etc.) so we could somehow secretively see you in a private venue. I'm sure someone would gab. I have no room in my life for gossip but I certainly would love to meet you someday or at least see you smile from across the room and I could wave back and know your spirit is healing and you are ok. Same with your parents. I would love to know their secrets to bring up children such as yourself. My son is at the height of puberty and your parent would be model parents to ask.
Love your music! Keep your head high! and yes it is ok to cry!!!!!!!!

You have more experiences than most......
David,
I am sorry to say that I never had the opportunity to see you locally (pre-idol). I am just sickened by this; however, I have a wonderful 12 year old that came first. We listen to you all the time and he loves your music as I do (although he plays the trumphet).
You have made me realize that I need to take time for myself. I was so upset last Thanksgiving when I didn't get to go to the Plaza for the lighting ceremony. I've been taking my son as a tradition for all the years of his life. Unfortunately, I had a unexpected nerve injury last June and was unable to walk to see you (they don't make it easy on those handicapped). Would you happen to have a photo of you playing at the lighting ceremony? If not, perhaps a photographer that you could recommend me get a copy.
From the first moment I saw you on Idol, I not only knew you were a fantastic, accomplished artist but there was something about you much deeper. As time went on, I realized it was how humble you are. What a blessed quality. Please don't ever get so large that you forget where you started, what made you passionate about your music, your fans, etc. Please don't ever let celebrity make you forget that when we are all side by side, we all put our pants on one leg at a time. I wish you had a page about your brother. I'm sure you want to keep that private; however, his struggles and his laughter certainly would be inspirational to others (let him sell his T-shirts and bracelets to carry on).
Also, perhaps its because I'm not computer literate but could you also have a tap with a "purchase items" on it. It would be so much easier to find "everything David". CD's, downloads, tour t-shirts, caps, calendars, etc. I feel so lost. I would like to purchase several CDs, downloads (if I can figure it out or buy an Ipod??? along with your brothers items. Tour information, etc. It is very important as well to donate on your site as well. I donated earlier on the run but I do wish I saved and donated for your family. I would like to assist with fundraisers or do whatever I can. My son is a great sales person at 12 if you can believe that one. I will pray and it will come to me. ANYTHING to be of help would be fantastic for me as I am off work on disability with my foot and have plenty of time to get involved in helping you. I just don't want to do anything you wouldn't approve of. My God lift you up daily!
You do remind me of "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren - and you don't even know it yet. Thank you for helping me!!!!
Thanks for reading my long winded message.

You Need to know this....
David Cook,
First, I would like to say that you album is OUTSTANDING! I love every song! Ok...here I go...
if by any chance you're reading this... you know how you wrote that article about crazy fans that begins with the word ATTENTION!!!??? It was about the Borgata Hotel. Well, I just want you to know that what I think you were concerned about was nothing more than a crossword puzzle book, I put it in the tarp of the bus! You see, I only did that because while my mom, two sisters and I were listening to you sing, my father met up with your bus driver, and your bus driver told my dad that my family should stop by your tour bus after the concert and give it to him to give to you; but your bus driver also told my dad that if we didn't meet up with him after your concert, I should leave my puzzle book on your bus. I am just the girl that threw you the crossoword puzzle book in Bridgeport, CT. on the "Idols Live Tour 2008!" Remember??? I threw a red crossword puzzle book that said, "Backstsage passes would be nice!" on the front, and you read it to the audience and asked if it was "a bribe!" The puzzle book that I left on your tour bus said "Backstage passes would be nice," too. I just wanted to clear things up for you and let you know I would NEVER attach spy equipment or scary tracking devices to your tour bus... like I said, it was nothing more than a crossword puzzle that had three notes inside; there was a note for you and your brothers! I hope you read this so you understand I am just a teenager that is a huge fan who was looking for a way to meet her idol!
P.S. I agree that some people go over the edge by waiting outside your hotel room! Now that's just plain NUTS!!! Thanks for reading this (if you did!) Oh, and I would love for you to come to Nassau Coliseum again, I would really love that, and so would many other fans!!! I hope you understand what I mean by all of this! Thanks again! And I am still praying for you and your family; I hope everything is alright!!! I send my love
~Puzzlethrower
great CD
I am 48 years old and have listened to what are now legends in music from the 60's up to now. Yes there is many bands and solo songers that have made a mark in the anals of music history. I have liked David Cook since I heard him audition on American Idol. I also purchased his first CD and I like his music on it. I truly believe he could make a huge mark in music history as others have. He has a great sound and his music hits many generations of fans. Please the great music coming. Also my 9 year old son likes the song Bar-Ba-Sol.
Video Blogs
The video blogs are wonderful! Whoever thought of it is brilliant...keeping in touch with the fans this way is so personal and so real which is kind of nice. I love all your songs.....can't wait to hear more!

GREAT CD - LUV IT!
David you are amazing!!
Thank you for the lyrics to Light On but I too would like to have the lyrics to the rest of the songs on the CD.
Fantastic song!
Thanks for the lyrics! Connie
Wats up with putting lyrics up on this site!!
If you were a true David Cook fan you wouldn't need to read the lyrics off a page on the internet!!!!!!
love
i love your voice!!
Awesome song!
I absolutely love this song! Keep it up!
Great Song
The re-birth of melodic music is now here! Great job David and keep up the great songwriting! I look forward to seeing you live and hearing you cranked up loud!
If their are any musicians out their listening to "Lights On", start studying this song and learn from it PLEASE! David is an excellent singer and guitarist so learn from someone who has the skills and ability to shine on...If your a studied musician then you will also be impressed that he ended this song on a 5 / 7 chord which only experienced musicians can do with grace and style. I have not seen this done well since "The Beatles".....David is no joke folks he is the real thing!
YOU GOT IT SO RIGHT, DAWLIN !!!
Oops! And now....the rest of the story.
, yes, ZZ, and others came last year. Daughtry, Jethro Tull, Alabama and MANY other great groups have come over the years. May, may not work out for this year, its in early June, but there is always next year. Sounds way too far away to see you again. But hoping to get a hug in Macon. 4 HOURS away, but bustin it to get to go.
Oh 17 to 7 Pitts.! Hope your having a great game tonight.
When you said you wanted us to feel like we went through a workout after listening to the CD. I have never experienced feelings to the degree I have with you, and your God given gifts. You had me from Hollywood with your talent, but your keep me because of the whole package. You are real, genuine and ooze beautiful depth. Keep it up. Your not my child or one on one love interest, but you are MY IT MAN and I am so proud of you and for you. LIght On is awsome, you did so great making it your own and ours. To alll of us, You already are a success but I wish it for you according to your greatest dreams as long as it makes you happy. We dont want the flame going out and am voting to keep you around. You make life Verrry Interrrestink dawlin!! OH, on another note. Look into Chattanooga River Bend. Big Venue, outdoors on the River!! Main headliners come every year. The group you sang so awsomely with the night you claimed your Thrown, King David,
EMOTIONALLY STIRRED AND DRAINED!

Inspiration
How do you do it david? find the inspiration to write this wonderful song, 'Light on' is it from the heart, the brain, or your stomach?
And also, what's your favourite movie i think all the girl will like to know
Amazing
This song is so great, i cant stop listen (does it spell like that, hmm)!!!!
Your voice is wondeful and the music video, oh lord...
You are wondeful David, such a talent...
I hope you have much sucess with the album and the single Light on
(I cant see it in any store i Sweden, why?? )
Have a nice dag your beutiful little thing // :0)
I have only seen about 3 episode of AI, but....
Hi David,
I never really followed the show. I always thought Simon was incredibly cruel and didn't like to see him put people down. I did see the last few episodes when you were on though. You impressed me and I will admit you were the only contestant I ever voted for. You are the real deal, not just a made up star. I appreciate your music and your lyrics are very touching. Keep up the good work and when the spot light fades as it always does, keep your soul strong and you will endure.
Thanks for the music.
Tour Dates/Lyrics....and do you read these "David Cook"....
Hey David Cook,
Well First off I took your C.D To The Gym...Work out on "The Tread Mill"...It good work out music too...Well I just wanted to comment on a few things....I want your C.D To Go "Plantium" and go to #1 I am so glad it doing so well and it at #3 that awesome as well...Something to be proud Of "David" Anyway,is there any way you can post where you going to be at soon...Maybe in 2009 you can come to FL and come to "Orlando" Hard Rock Cafe...I really don't like The Other Venues Because they are like three hours away from my house...( I would go but I don't know anyone that would drive that far to go with me) so if you could come To "Orlando" FL that would be great that only 1 hour and 30 minutes from My House...so please consider this as one of your places you would put on a concert...I have never been there yet and it would be a "Awesome Memory"...you would make it special...David...So Come To "Orlando" FL if you can for your next tour when your next C.D...Speaking Of C.D I was kind of disappointed that Your Lyrics weren't in The C.D...I like "Memorizing" And singing along when I play The C.D so I was Hoping To Have That...Not sure if you don't have a say in that but please please please please have The Lyrics in The Next C.D..."Thanks" "All Your Fans Want The Lyrics To Your Songs" David Cook!!!! Lastly,Do you read these???? Can any Admiration tell us Does David Cook Read any of these comments..for imput and know how music his music does effecte his fans and what does he think of these comments and imput and suggestion of different things...Just Wondering...Well I am going to watch "Lights On"....again on here...Thanks for putting "The Music Video On Here"...."Lights On" It is a great song and great music video...I like The Music Video because it simple and not over done...It having someone "Rescue You From The Pain Of Life" It could be a dating relationship and dating someone new, a parent relationship and how they have been there for you..." It Just "A Fun Music Video" Nothing More Nothing Less....."Lights On" I Love The Music Video It Great!!!!! The Song It Awesome Too!!
~Blessings David Cook~

This may sound stupid, BUT...
Hi David,
I just wanted to thank you. I was that girl that kept waving and gesturing and dancing to you when you were behind stage at the AI concert in Tulsa. I don't know if you remember me, seeing as though you have a bazillion fans, but I wanted to tell you that you made my day. It was quite fun telling my friend, who is an AI fanatic, that I got to see you wave back to me. She just about killed me. I just about had her convinced that you were going to write a song about our experience. Hahahaha, just kidding.
I'm a fan, now. Not because of AI, but on how you connect with your audience. You give your fans a SHOW, not just performance. I think you make each and every person out there feel like you're singing just to them. And that is a very special gift.
Again, Thank You.
Light On
I think the song is awesome but the video does not make any sense. I think something with the military would of been right on. There are so many ties to military deployment in the song it is unreal and yet noone saw that when they went to make the vidoe?????? Someone totaly missed the mark and did not capitalize on what the song actually says. Dumb Video good song .
I Love The Music Video "Lights On"
First Off David Cook,
You Are The First "American Idol" Where I Bought Any "American Idol" Contestant C.D..."Nothing Compares" In My Opionion...I Think It Your Spirit...There is something that connects me more to your music Then The Other "American Idols"...You Are Different...Maybe Your Humble,Maybe You Won't Let Sucess Go To Your Head...But whatever it is..."Your The Greatest Out There" You have a variety of sounds....I think your music is between a Alternative sound to Pop-Rock....I Really like how your soul connects to The Music and it almost like something transforms into "Something Spiritual" Like For Example "Mr Senstive" My Favorite Song On The Entire C.D....That Song is so Spiritual to me....Jesus Is "Mr Senstive" and we are sopose to allow "His Love" To Transform Us And Be "Mr Senstive".... Now Even Though You might Of not ment "Jesus" but you have that connection To The Spiritual Side...I Love that in a "Artist"....My Other Favorite Songs On There Is..."I Did It For You" "Bar-la-rol" I would Love to know what that song title came from....(That Song should Defentely Be "A Music Video Choice" It Hard Rock, and I Just Plain Love it....I Also Love, "Peremant" and "Come Back To Me" And "Lights On" Of Course I Love The Music Video.....It Simple And Not Over Done... I Love The Message Of The "Music Video" Concept...And Of Course...Your In It...So That Makes It...."Hot"...And I Also Like "Declaration" that is another favorite song of mine....That so cool you co-wrote with " Johnny Rzeznik" Love That Band The Goo Goo Dolls....Anyway.....God Bless And Stay True To What "The Lord Wants You To Do In Your Music That The Lord Has Put In Your Heart David Cook".....
~Come To "Hard Rock Cafe" In "Orlando Florida" Soon.....2009~
~Be Blessed David Cook~

CD Lyrics
David's CD says the lyrics for the songs on the CD are on the website - but WHERE are they????
A Daily AntheM
I hope someone can answer this for me...I just bought the CD and A Daily AntheM shows as #12 and is 15 minutes long but after the song ends after about 4 minutes, then there is 7 or 8 minutes of silence and then another song starts. Did I get a defective CD?
Thanks.
It's so meaning....
Oh My Gosh, I can't stop hearing this song till I download it... Cookie, you really make me moving... that's wonderfull lyric, wonderfull music and wonderfull voice.

I Love My Bánh... Cookie...
Great album!
David,
OK, 'AuldRaucher' is 56 and a child of the sixties...and loves your sound and authenticity. Kid, ya make my heart smile with hope for not just the future of rock but of what is true and sincere. Continue to be true to yourself.
Pre-ordered your album on Amazon as soon as you announced it earlier this year and damn, you done good!
First time through and I love the sounds, the rhythms, the lyrics, your awesome voice... Last two single artists who inspired me as much as you: Melissa Etheridge and Juanes. Thanks for all your hard work and I look forward to spending the rest of my years following your career and going to your concerts, as well as buying your albums.
And don't forget -- Take time for yourself

AuldRaucher who thinks Cookie rox!
OMG LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey David,
I really hope you read these!! I am almost 44 yrs old and like to think I am one of your BIGGEST fans!! I drive my family crazy with your ring tones, the count down until your new cd would be released and NOW your CD is being played all the time at home in the car and at work (there are perks to being the Boss) I was that crazy woman voting for you each week no less then 200 calls every Tuesday. On the last night well... I voted over a thousand times for you!!!! Archie has talent but you were the TRUE winner hands down and I was going to do my best to help make that happen!!!!!!!!!!!!! If your ever in El Cajon, CA stop by for dinner there will always be a place for you at the table. Young & Old we love you!
