The Lighthouse

Among the trees
Through the forest
High up on the mountain top
Situated for the world
To see is a lighthouse

It's a guide for boaters 
Finding their way home in the evening 
To awaiting loved ones

Sometimes there is a lighthouse keeper 
Manning the lighthouse 
But not always 

It's been there for centuries and centuries 
And will still be standing even after I a human leave this world

Lighthouse you are mighty and strong 
And play an important role in the world and in history
