Lighthouse

(Album: Some Kind Of Zombie - 1997)

Bouncing like a buoy
drifting on the water
Singletary solitute man begins to holler
he says "man overboard"
I jump ship on the trip
it was a worldwide cruise
trading riches for some fishes
I've got nothing more to lose
I'm a man overboard
I'm a man overboard

If it wasn't for the lighthouse
where would my life be?
On a trip bound for nowhere
on a unforgiving sea
I thank God for the light

Legs and arms are burning
I swim against the tide
keep an eye above the water
so I can see the light
I'm a man overboard
I dream about the saviour
I dream about the shore
I feel the sand
You take my hand
and we will walk forevermore
I'm a man overboard
I'm a man overboard

If it wasn't for the lighthouse
where would my life be?
On a ship bound for nowhere
on an unforgiving sea
I thank God
If it wasn't for the lighthouse
where would my life be?
On a ship bound for nowhere
on an unforgiving sea
I thank God for the lighthouse
I thank God for the light
