Lighthouse
G&D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When your world is like a venomous sea
Wrack and ruin at every turn
I’ll be your lighthouse, your safe harbour
I‘ll be the light to guide ya
When the clouds are turning black in the sky
When you’re lost and you can't figure out why
I’ll be your lighthouse, your safe harbour
I‘ll be the light to guide ya
I am the lighthouse, you're the boat on stormy seas
I’ll be the flame you can follow me
Follow me when you're lost at sea, sail softly on my gentle breeze
The waves will guide you to the shore, sail back to me once more
I know that we will be all right, even if you are lost tonight
Follow my light back to the shore, sail back to me once more
When the current pulls you out with the tide
Toward a tempest where there’s nowhere to hide
I’ll be your lighthouse, your safe harbour
I‘ll be the light to guide ya
I am the lighthouse, you're the boat on stormy seas
I’ll be the flame you can follow me
Follow me when you're lost at sea, sail softly on my gentle breeze
The waves will guide you to the shore, sail back to me once more
I know that we will be all right, even if you are lost tonight
Follow my light back to the shore, sail back to me once more
Sail back to me once more




Sail back to me once more
Follow my light back to the shore
