Dear Teachers,

- the male singer Daniel Powter used to sing:

"I hope you find whatever you've been looking for. Just remember where you're from and who you are. 'Cause there's a thousand lights that will make you feel brand new. But if you ever lose your way, I'll leave one on for you"

- "make you feel brand new" means "make you feel happy", right? and what do "lose you way" and "leave one on for you" mean here?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd

Yes, happy and refreshed.

become lost during your travels (in this case, a metaphor for your path in life).

I will turn on a light and leave it turned on so you can find your way back home (again a metaphor that you will be welcome back to your familiar life when you are tired of your current life path).
