The Lighthouse

Keith Landry

THE LIGHTHOUSE

You hide an ancient soul
Behind your tired eyes
You keep a heart of gold
Buried deep inside
At least you tried

Always in control
Of what the world might see
Has taken quite a toll
You’re afraid that you might be
Lost at sea

Looking for the lighthouse
In the darkest night
Looking for the lighthouse
Hold on tight

Should you chase religion
Like it’s a magic pill
Or make your own decision
To follow who you will
The water’s deeper still

Looking for the lighthouse
In the darkest night
Looking for the lighthouse
Hold on tight

Somewhere in construction
It seems along the way
The set of life instructions
Were cast away

Praying for a vision
Hoping to be saved
Fearing your collision
Will leave you broken in the waves
It might be the only way

Looking for the lighthouse
In the darkest night
Looking for the lighthouse
Hold on tight
