Lighthouse
Secret Nation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But your a light house
When the waves are getting rough
Your the way out
You can try to quiet down
Blend it without a sound
Don't ever cover up
Cause your a lighthouse
Stand up
As tall as you can
Scream out
Raise a glass
To all those who try to bring you down
Your a lover a Fighter
A catch the world on Fire
When all the lights go out
Your a lighthouse
They'll try to put you out
But your a fire
When they tell ya that you're wrong
You'll burn brighter
If you can let the wind
Light you up again
They'll try to put you out
Cause your a fire
You can try to cover up
But your a light house
When the waves start getting rough
Your the way out
