I was there when darkness
was all you ever knew.
So black it was; the night,
that your shadows left you too,
but then across the horizon
a beacon's match did strike,
and burned a path right through the dusk
to end your lonely nights.
Years flew by in blinks of an eye
and long gone are those days;
but still despite, I kept the light
that watched you drift away.
Forever my heart will be your guide
so that you never sail alone,
and if you're ever feeling lost
you'll know the way back home.

I was there when darkness
was all you ever knew.
So black it was; the night,
that your shadows left you too,
but then across the horizon
a beacon's match did strike,
and burned a path right through the dusk
to end your lonely nights.
Years flew by in blinks of an eye
and long gone are those days;
but still despite, I kept the light
that watched you drift away.
Forever my heart will be your guide
so that you never sail alone,
and if you're ever feeling lost
you'll know the way back home.
