Lyrics
LIGHTHOUSE
LIKE A SHIP THAT WAS LOST AT SEA, I JUST COULD NOT FIND MY WAY.
TOSSED BY THE WAVES, DARLIN' ENDLESSLY, BUT KNOWIN' THERE WOULD BE A BETTER DAY.
LIVIN' IN DARKNESS, LOOKIN' FOR THE LIGHT, NOT KNOWIN' JUST WHAT TO DO.
KNOWIN' THE DIFF'RENCE BETWEEN WRONG AND RIGHT AND HOPIN' FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU.
CHORUS: THERE IN THE DISTANCE I SAW YOU ONE DAY, NOW I KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO.
A LIGHTHOUSE, A BEACON TO SHOW ME THE WAY, AND THE REST OF THE STORY YOU KNOW.
NOW I HAVE BOTH FEET UPON SOLID GROUND, AND THE STORMS THAT I WEATHER ARE FEW.
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD HAVE MADE IT TO SHORE, MY RESCUE DEPENDED ON YOU.
REPEAT CHORUS:
