Hunter Easton Hayes nació el 9 de septiembre de 1991 en Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. Desde una temprana edad, destacó por su talento musical, alimentado sustancialmente por la rica influencia cultural de su entorno. Apenas a los dos años de edad, Hunter ya había recibido su primera guitarra de manos del actor Robert Duvall, lo que marcó el inicio de una vida inmersa en la música.
Durante sus años infantiles y adolescentes, Hunter ya había mostrado un talento increíble. Apareció en el programa de televisión "The Maury Show" a los cuatro años y en "America's Most Talented Kids" a los trece, asombrando al público con sus dotes como cantante y multiinstrumentista. Podía tocar más de 30 instrumentos y se ganó una reputación como un verdadero niño prodigio.
En 2010, después de mudarse a Nashville, firmó un contrato con Atlantic Records. En 2011, lanzó su álbum debut homónimo, "Hunter Hayes". El sencillo principal, "Storm Warning", recibió una favorable acogida, pero fue con "Wanted" que alcanzó notoriedad mundial. Esta canción no solo ascendió rápidamente en las listas de éxitos, sino que también le otorgó su primer número uno en el Billboard Hot Country Songs.
I get lost sometimes, like everybody else
Lose track of my lifelines, lose track of myself
And there's all kinds of reasons to be scared and run away
It's a good time for sad times like heaven couldn't be
Farther from the places, that heaven always finds me
If nobody cares, tell me how is it I keep getting saved this way
It's a sunrise from a lonely night
Like a smile in a strangers eyes
It's the moments that save my life
Nobody knows about like flashlights
There's just enough hope when it shines
To go one scared step at a time
When the world's too dark I find, your flashlight, yeah
I'm glad nobody's counting, and Lord I'm glad you don't keep score
My prayers are all the same, it's the ones I prayed before
Thank you, but forgive me, my rough around the edges heart is yours
And the moments where you swear I'm just screaming at the sky
It's the strangest conversation or a friend just stopping by
And it's funny when I realize all the places
That your miracles can hide
Like a sunrise from a lonely night
Like a smile in a strangers eyes
It's the moments that save my life
Nobody knows about like flashlights
There's just enough hope when it shines
To go one scared step at a time
When the world's too dark I find, your flashlight, oh yeah
Oh, who am I?
Dust and water
Touched by the Divine
You tell me who, who am I?
You keep shining on me, shining on me, yeah
Shining on me
It's the moments that save my life nobody knows about
It's like a flashlight
(There's just enough hope when it shines)
And its just enough hope when it shines
(To go one scared step at a time) To go one step at a time
(When the world's to dark I find your flashlight)
When the world's too dark I find your flashlight
It's a sunrise from a lonely night
It's a smile in a strangers eyes
It's the moments that save my life nobody knows about
Like flashlights
It's just enough hope when it shines, to go one scared step at a time
When the world's too dark I find, your flashlight
(Like a sunrise from a lonely night
Like a smile in a strangers eyes) who am I
(Its the moments that save my life nobody know about
Like flashlights) oh yeah
(Its just enough to hope when it shines
To go one scared step at a time
When the world too dark I find)
I'm just finding your flashlight
