The Ocean And The Lighthouse

We all get so caught up in running that we forget who we really are.
I love you and I am sorry that I forgot to reassure,
You that you are the only thing I can't live without.
So now I'll conquer these waters and try to turn this ship around.

Lets listen for the sound, a familiar voice in this noisy crowd.
Lets look for the lighthouse, across the ocean, this endless ocean.

This is a life I won't lead, my sins the endless ocean.

You are the beacon on the shoreline, when I see nothing but dark tides,
Even when the stars shine brightest and I forget to call,
I need nothing but your light to guide me home.

I fell asleep to the lulling sound of the waves made by these changing tides,
My changing life.
As I sunk to the lowest point of my decent the calling of my heart,
Was the last thing on my mind.
I awoke to the sight of the captain reaching out for me,
As my own hands pulled me under.

I've been dirty I've been wrong, You've been watching from afar.

You are the beacon on the shoreline, when I see nothing but dark tides,
Even when the stars shine brightest and I forget to call,
I need nothing but your light to guide me home.

Show me the way, because this isn't it.
