The Sentinel
The fury of the angry sea
Battered their boat through the night
In Davy Jones locker they'll be
If the sentinel shows not its light
For in its light is the hope they need
To see them through their stormy ordeal
Upon the rocks they'll surely be dashed
If the sentinel's light is concealed
The lighthouse stands tall as mighty waves fall
And her light in the distance is seen
They steer through the squall
With the guidance they glean
Which safely leads them to shore
The sentinel shines bright in the darkest of nights
And like many times before,
It guides sailors through their stormy plight.
