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

The Lighthouse
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..

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..
