Lighthouse on the Shoreline

Lyrics: There’s a tower where the salt wind cries, Paint worn thin under weathered skies, Stands alone where the breakers roar, Keeping watch like it’s done before. Lantern glass with a tired glow, Turns in circles soft and slow, Every beam like a whispered sign, “There’s still a way—if you read the line.” (Chorus) Oh, lighthouse on the shoreline, calling through the night, Spinning out your mercy in a ribbon made of light, For every drifting soul that’s lost the stars above, You’re a quiet kind of promise, you’re a steady kind of love. (Verse 2) Old man tends it with calloused hands, Knows the sea like he knows this land, Says the ocean takes what it will, But the light’s got a stronger will. He’s seen ships just ghosts in the rain, Heard the cries carried in with pain, But he keeps that fire burning bright, Like a prayer you don’t say—just write. (Chorus) Oh, lighthouse on the shoreline, holding back the dark, Every turn a lifeline, every glow a spark, For the hearts out on the water breaking in the storm, You’re a silent guardian keeping sailors warm. (Bridge) And the waves keep pounding like a drum below, And the years roll in like the undertow, Still that light don’t falter, don’t bend, don’t fade, Through the wreckage of the choices we’ve all made. (Verse 3) Maybe I’m just a ship out wide, With a broken mast and a wounded pride, Searching through the fog and fear, For a sign that the way is near. And I swear when that beam cuts through, It feels like it’s meant for you, Like the dark don’t get the final say, If there’s even just one small ray. (Final Chorus) Oh, lighthouse on the shoreline, shining strong and true, Through the deepest night it’s reaching out to you, When the world’s gone drifting far from what you knew, There’s a light that’s still burning—just to guide you through. (Outro) So let the storms come rolling like they always do, Let the tides keep turning like they’re born to do, There’s a fire on the edge of the endless blue— And it’s shining… For me and you.
