Ballad of the Lighthouse Lyrics

I'll chase my dreams the best that I can
I've got my target and I know my plan
just like a heron I'll wait for the day
the wind blows your ship into my bay
millions of sailors out on the sea
would have lost hope if it were not for me
I took their hands, led them out of the storm
so why are you silent when you hear me moan?

don't make me sleep on your floor
I won't be in your way
please let me sleep in your arms
I'll wake you up with my charms
the year 1840 was the year I was made
and when I was finished they held a parade
I may not be tall but I stand way up high
my feet on the hilltop, my head in the sky

if you want to meet me, you can come to my coast
my door's always open, I'm a wonderful host
climb to the top, warm your hands at my fire
then lean a bit closer so you'll hear my cry
don't make me sleep on your floor
I won't be in your way
please let me sleep in your arms
I'll wake you up with my charms
