Lyrics

There is a lighthouse on a windy coast
Its light shines for all but I need it the most
Set sail in darkness and it?s so hard to see
There?s no one I can count on who will rescue me

I?d rather be a lighthouse shining in all kinds of weather
Than a helpless boat tryin? to keep itself together

When darkness falls at sea there?s no hope in sight
I look for the beacon flashing right through the night
Without that guidance I don?t think I could sail
Hit the rocks, take on water, destined to fail

I?d rather be a lighthouse shining in all kinds of weather
Than a helpless boat tryin? to keep itself together

Got into safe harbor after so long at sea
made it so much harder than it had to be
Though I saw my sails were tattered in the morning light
I arrived home and dry without a lighthouse in sight

You can go far and you can travel the world
Canvas to wind, all of your sails unfurled
And think you need a distant light to survive
When it?s been you all along that?s kept you alive

No longer a helpless ship tossed about in the sea
I am the lighthouse and the lighthouse is me
