The Light That Leads Me Home

A storm is a brewin' out on the sea The raging waters slam like fists against my ship I've been on this journey for many years But finally, I'm heading home The sea is my prison, yet also, my oasis It is the core of my entire being The lonely waters consume my every waking thought And still, I long to hug the land I'm a tired, old sailor, just searching Searching for reasons of existence Forever, it seems, I've been roaming the sea alone And no answers have I received Now my search for the meaning of life is coming to an end Instead, I am searching for something new Something more important than my quest for the truth I am now searching for a bright, white light A light sent from the Heavens That stretches beyond the sea I can hear it calling my name It's waiting for me to discover it Oh, how I long to find my glorious light The light shining just for me The light that has been blessed by the angels It is the light that will lead me home
