[Verse 1]

Caught up in the riptide

Like a storm on a dark night

In so deep

And it's pulling me from both sides

It's hard to stay upright in this changing sea

And I'm so full of rage

You used to keep that fire at bay

Now I don't know who I've become

And another day breathes

Tearing at the seams

And I hope I don't come undone


[Chorus]

And when these stars rise and fall

And I can't find my way home

Will you be my lighthouse?

When I call out your name, show me the way

Will you be my lighthouse?

Will you shine out? Show me the way


[Verse 2]

So fire up a red light

Into the black sky

Do you see me now?

Do the еchoes of my heart reach you whеre you are?

Do you hear the sound?

I still long to feel your touch

You're the iron in my blood, you know my love will never change

And I lie up in my bed, fighting shadows in my head

And I pray you'll get to me someway


[Chorus]

And when these stars rise and fall

And I can't find my way home

Will you be my lighthouse?

When I call out your name, show me the way

Will you be my lighthouse?

Will you shine out? Show me the way


[Instrumental Break]


[Bridge]

Oh, lead me home

Back to safer shores

Oh, lead me home

Back to where I belong

Oh, lead me home

Back into your arms

Oh, lead me home

Oh, oh


[Chorus]

And when these stars rise and fall

And I can't find my way home

When the sunrise won't come

Will you be my lighthouse?

When I call out your name, show me the way

Will you be my lighthouse?

Will you shine out? Show me the way
