Lighthouse
silver trees Lyrics

Here's to the lighthouse
Let's honor the beacon of light that guides us back home.

Back on the shores of home
The place where we feel safe and loved.

Here's to the wanderers
Let's celebrate those who are lost and searching for direction in their lives.

Lost on the seas alone
Feeling lost and disconnected from the world around them.

Here's to the angels
A tribute to the people and forces that guide and protect us.

The waves that will push us home
The challenges we face that ultimately lead us back to where we belong.

I can't remember
Feeling disconnected from your past and unsure of your purpose.

What we first sailed out here for
The original goals and dreams that inspired us to set out on this journey.

We spent the better
The majority of our time and effort.

Part of a lifetime
A significant portion of our existence.

Looking for islands
Searching for a place of safety and refuge.

Safety and dry land alone
Craving stability and security in an unpredictable world.

I would come back home
Longing to return to the familiar and comfortable.

But home comes with me
Realizing that your sense of home and belonging is within you, wherever you go.

Call it weather or call it whatever
Whether you attribute it to external factors or something internal and intangible, it's still affecting you.

Now I just feel better at sea
Finding solace and freedom in the vastness and unpredictability of the ocean.

I thought that I wanted
Believing that you knew what would make you happy and fulfilled.

To be brave and be seen
Craving recognition and validation for your courage and accomplishments.

I thought that I found it
Thinking that you had achieved your dreams and found what you were looking for.

To take home the victory
To bring back a sense of triumph and accomplishment to your 'home' and those who support you.

And loss life trying
Sacrificing your time and energy in pursuit of your goals, perhaps to a detrimental degree.

To fill it with fighting for us
Working hard to provide for and protect the people you care about.

So I can tell you
Offering wisdom and guidance from your experiences and struggles.

Here on the other end
Looking back on the journey from a place of perspective and self-awareness.

Someone will hold you
Knowing that there will always be someone there to support and comfort you.

Then let go
Allowing you to grow and learn from your experiences without holding you back.

And that's when
At the moment when you need to let go and move forward.

You feel like you're drowning
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope with the challenges you face.

But here you can relearn love
Finding a new appreciation for the love and support of those around you.

Tell me
Asking for guidance and clarity.

What we're doing here
Questioning the purpose and significance of our journey.

How long
Asking how much longer we will have to face our challenges and fears.

Till we loose the fear
When we will finally be able to let go of our fears and anxieties.

And you
Addressing a partner or loved one.

Smile and say
Assuring them that everything will be okay and that we will face our challenges together.

I am home with you wherever we sail away
Feeling a sense of home and belonging with those we love, no matter where our journey takes us.

There's a gift in the heartache
Finding value and growth in the pain and difficulties we face.

Even though it doesn't feel
Acknowledging that it may not be easy or pleasant in the moment.

Fair to be knocked down
Feeling like we have been unfairly hit with challenges and obstacles.

Torn up and locked out
Feeling broken and excluded from the world around us.

Things here worth loving
Finding reasons to love and appreciate our current situation and surroundings.

Will find you for nothing
The things we need and long for will come to us freely, without effort or sacrifice.

But time
Patience and persistence are key in finding the love and happiness we seek.

Call it weather or call it whatever
Repeating the idea that external or internal factors can affect our lives in unexpected ways.

Now I just want you here with me
Desiring the presence and support of a loved one to face the challenges ahead.
