Lighthouse

Lighthouse beckons to the waves
What souls do you bring today
Shine your light for them to see
That your saving light will set them free

Show them lighthouse your rocky shore
Turn them away from Death's door
Bring them safely to Harbor's path
And save them from wave's angry wrath

Bring me waves those lost at sea
Follow my light to Land's safety
Standing tall on Seashore's fright
Lighting the way on this moonless night
