Ernie Halter has recently become a licensed pilot he released his latest single with Amarrai Cabell Ernie Halter grew up during a short but important technological era – “The Cassette Generation” – with a collection that included the Beatles Abbey Road, Billy Joel’s Glass Houses, and Elton John’s Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. However the very first tape Halter ever bought, was Go-Go’s Beauty and the Beat. Halter recalls, “Belinda Carlisle was a little hottie, and even at 6 years old, I knew this to be true.” Halter also tuned into the FM dial on a regular basis during his childhood, staying glued to the radio as he soaked up all the pop goodness. During his college years, a friend made him a mix tape of Stevie Wonder’s greatest hits, which he played over and over until he knew every note…but we’re getting more .

Lighthouse
Ernie Halter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me guide your hand
Let me be your shelter
For you...for you I stand
When you feel the dark inside you
And the wind and waves keep pushing you down
Feel the whole world pulling you around
Let me me be your lighthouse
Let me guide your hand
Let me be your shelter
For you...for you I stand
When you feel the dark inside you
And the moon and stars don't lead you nowhere
Feels like no one's watching up there
Let me me be your lighthouse
Let me guide your hand
Let me be your shelter
For you...for you I stand
Let me be the one.....standing when you come
Lay your anchor down and let me wrap my arms around you
Let me me be your lighthouse
Let me guide your hand
Let me be your shelter
For you...for you I stand
For you I stand
For you I ... stand

He then sings about feeling lost in the world and uncertain of where to turn when there seems to be no help. In the refrain, Halter repeats his offer to be the lighthouse and guide the person lost in the waves to safety.
The lyrics of "Lighthouse" are moving and poignant, and the message is a powerful one. Sometimes people need someone to hold them up when it seems impossible to keep going, and Halter offers himself as that support in this song. This song is a reminder that no matter how hard things get, we all need someone we can turn to for strength and comfort.
