Lighthouse On the Sea

Be the lighthouse on the sea Guiding lost souls to come to me Ponder this through your heart and war Should I come to knock on your door I count the hours locked away And to my hearts contempt I stay A little line of mine to shine My own burden to bear..it's mine Suffering and pain will be your antidote to the timeless of memories and the most remote The lighthouse flashes and shines its light to the edge of the water its beams stray bright Beware of the chance when you walk in vain And the souls of your feet, where the sand falls grain by grain Potential is high when you reach for the bar hit the ground running and shoot for the stars Brave is the man who dares to dream high For the insurmountable courage of a goal that will never die Peaks aren't reached by an ephemeral hike A momentary doubt is a receding climb Half-hearted attempts won't suffice Look at the heart and look at the price Even though you were used and were made a spawn these words of mine will go on and on And with my final breath I plea To be the lighthouse on the sea
