The Lighthouse Lyrics


While travelling the oceans, you may fall back on me

I’m standing out there, waiting, lighting the way for you to flee

And through the blackened sea, I was there to help you find

The way back to the land

But there's no one turning back

But I, I gave you everything I’ve got

You forgot?

I was the only one there for you

How could you go?

I’m but a lighthouse, giving my light for the ships to sail away

I’m but a tree, where birds rest and fly away

I’m but a savior, to rescue you from your decay

I’m but a friend, standing on the coast eternally and wait

While sailing in a dreamworld, you may find me again

And through the dark and stormy sea, still trying to heal the pain

But I, I gave you everything I’ve got

You forgot?

I was the only one there for you

How could you go?

You gave me nothing in the end

“Be my friend…”

I gave you everything I've got

"I’m leaving now…"

(Refrain)

“I was raised on a rock

Only to prevent the ships from crashing on me

My darkness inside is too much for them to take

So, I wait here, safe, within a prison of myself

I stare at the beauty of the ocean, alone

Oh God, please release my soul

Break these walls of misery

I don’t need this life anymore

Take me home…”

The earth has started shaking, the waves are growing wild

The ocean hides the stormy sky and crashes on the wall

(Refrain)

The lighthouse is collapsing, the dove is flying free

And from the ruins of its death, is growing now a tree...
