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
For me..
But I, I gave you everything you’ve got
You forgot?
I was the only one there for you!
How could you go?
You gave me nothing in return
“Be my friend…”
You would be nothing without me
I’m leaving now…
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, I see another boat
The faces pass before me, but I’m imprisoned in these walls
“I was raised on a rugged rock
The only thing I’ve known
How to prevent the boats
From crashing on me
I was born to oust
Everyone that passes through my way
As I could never give them what they really want
This is my terrible fate
Staring at the beauty of the ocean, alone..
An observer in the middle of an endless sea
Behind the safety of the prison that I have built for myself
I wonder…
Am I convicted in lifetime loneliness?
What if my eyes are mirrors, reflecting the weakness within me?
It’s all about flesh, nobody will ever care about me
Oh Lord, release my soul
Break these walls of misery
I don’t need that lonely 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
While travelling the oceans, you may find me again
And through the stormy sea, I’ve been waiting for you
But you never came back
For me..
“Oh, Lighthouse, you‘re too blind to see
There are thousands of lighthouses out there, just like you
Being confused, scared and lonely
All waiting for a ship to come and save them
Don’t be afraid anymore, go find them
There’s nothing more you have to give but love
Do not convict yourself in a rotten jail forever
Live your every moment away from fear
Remember, your life will expire
It’s all nothing but a dream
Don’t be afraid anymore, go fulfill it…”
The lighthouse is collapsing, the dove is flying free
And from the ruins of its death, is growing now a tree
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
For me..
But I, I gave you everything you’ve got
You forgot?
