The Lighthouse Lyrics

I can see the storm on the horizon's edge

The clouds rollin' in where you've planted your steps

Feels like I'm shoutin' into the wind

My words get lost, they can't make it in

I'm watchin' you drift further from shore

Into waters you're too young to explore

Waves pull you out, but you won't hear

How I'd fight the tide just to keep you near

(Light in the dark, but you turn away)

(You're sailin' alone, while I ache and pray)

My heart can see the dangers ahead

You're runnin' blind, while I'm filled with dread

The road you're takin' is rough and steep

I want to shield you, but you won't let me speak

I've been down those winding roads you roam

Full of promises that lead to stone

You walk with fire, no fear in your eyes

But my heart feels every scar you hide

(Reaching out, but you brush me aside)

(Holding on tight while I watch you collide)

My heart can see the dangers ahead

You're runnin' blind, while I'm filled with dread

The road you're takin' is rough and steep

I want to shield you, but you won't let me speak

You don't see the hands I keep open wide

Or the tears I hide, or the prayers I confide

I'm just a lighthouse, steady and still

While you drift further against your will

My heart can see the stormy night

Every misstep, every fight

I'd give it all to be your guide

But all I can do is watch from the side

One day you'll see through these same eyes

And feel the ache, the quiet cries

For now, I'll stand here, strong and true

A mother's heart, watchin' over you
