Lighthouse

© 2018 Shawn Gilley

Verse 1
The accumulation of broken dreams
Makes me a songbird that can't sing
I open mouth and silence comes out

I've been waiting here to catch a break
There's not a prayer I haven't prayed
It's been an eternity since I can say I'm proud
of the place that I'm in
I'm surrounded by a sea of bitterness


CHORUS
I need a light
to guide me through this pitch black night
I'm like a boat in a hurricane
Fighting through the ten foot waves
I'm aimlessly floating around
Waiting for my lighthouse


Verse 2
Every morning I open my eyes
Thinking that this is the day that my life
Turns around but it never seems to


It's amazing the pain I can endure
It would kill most people to be sure
Maybe it's slowly killing me too
​
'Cause it's wearing me down
I'm the king who's lost his crown


CHORUS

BRIDGE
I can keep holding on for one more day
Maybe that's the only way
I can survive
Waiting for the light
