“Lighthouse” is a dark, cinematic ballad about love as a guiding force through emotional storms and existential uncertainty. The song follows two souls who journey together across metaphorical oceans, seeking light in the midst of chaos. The lighthouse symbolizes hope, safety, and spiritual connection — a beacon that never fades, even when the world collapses.

The lyrics explore themes of:  
- Devotion and trust: “I will follow you to the edge of the earth.”  
- Emotional resilience: Love remains unbroken despite fear, darkness, and inner turmoil.  
- Transcendence: The journey becomes a spiritual awakening, with the lighthouse as a divine presence.  
- Intimacy and vulnerability: Whispered verses and haunting imagery evoke longing, surrender, and deep emotional truth.

The song builds from quiet introspection to sweeping cinematic release, mirroring the emotional arc from isolation to connection, from storm to sanctuary.

🎵 Lighthouse — Lyrics (Clean Version)

Intro  
A flame in the distance, calling me home  
Through shadows and silence, I’m never alone  

Verse 1  
We climb where the ocean swallows the sky  
Your hand in the dark is the reason I try  
The world disappears, but the beacon remains  
A tower of hope in the cold and the rain  

Verse 2  
The tide pulls us under, yet still we believe  
In love as the anchor, in light we receive  
The storm cannot break what the night cannot hide  
The lighthouse is burning, it keeps us alive  

Pre-Chorus  
And I will follow you,  
To the edge of the earth,  
Through the fire, through the flood,  
To the place of rebirth  

Chorus  
Shine, shine,  
Through the endless night  
Guide me home,  
Through the waves, through the fight  
Shine, shine,  
You’re the truth I find  
In the dark, you’re my lighthouse divine  

Verse 3  
The sea is a mirror of all that we fear  
But love is the voice that I always hear  
It whispers of freedom, it sings of release  
A song in the chaos, a promise of peace  

Verse 4  
We dive into waters no map ever knew  
The deeper we go, the closer to you  
The stars are our witness, the night is our stage  
The lighthouse eternal, the fire, the flame  

Bridge  
Even if the heavens fall,  
Even if the oceans rise,  
Your light will be my covenant,  
My compass in the skies  

Interlude  
("Shine… shine…")  

Reprise  
A flame in the distance, calling me home  
Through shadows and silence, I’m never alone  

Chorus Reprise  
Shine, shine,  
Through the endless night  
Guide me home,  
Through the waves, through the fight  
Shine, shine,  
You’re the truth I find  
In the dark, you’re my lighthouse divine  

Outro  
And when the world is gone,  
Your light will carry on  
Forever my lighthouse,  
Forever my song

Year of the Woman

One of my favorites buried down at the bottom, track 12 off my latest release "The Isle of Her" available on itunes here: http://bit.ly/10S8u9u

Featuring Lewis Richards, Kevin Offitzer, Ryan Radcliff.

Lyrics co-written by myself and Keith Cousins.

"Baby, you're a wildflower no man will ever tame.
I'm just a big old oak tree trying to offer you a little shade.
But you were gone so quickly from underneath this branch of mine.
And who can really blame you when you say you need some more sunshine?

How long do I keep holding out for something you're not sure you'll ever be ready for?

I'm not one to test the water, I prefer to dive right in.
And when you say that you don't want to, I say if not now, then when?

And it hurts even though she warned me that this is how things were gonna be.
A whimsical girl with the smile of an angel, I guess I should've seen.
Should've seen through the drunken makeout sessions, through laying in the grass.
Through telling her all my hopes and aspirations, although this would never last.

I'm not gonna keep holding out for something you're not sure you'll ever be ready for.

I'm not one to test the water, I prefer to dive right in.
And when you say that you don't want to, I say if not now, then when?
Suit yourself girl, just remember we're all still learning how to swim.
And I've been drowning in the deep end ever since you pushed me in.

It turns out she left her heart and soul down in Paris, France.
Gave it to some real hip guy, guess I never had a chance.
I could never offer her an Eiffel-Tower-filled romance.
No wine-soaked days.
No whirlwind overseas emotion usually only seen in motion pictures on the screen, 
No, she'll never feel that ocean breeze inside the theater, gotta go to the sea.
So won’t you go down with me?

(Chorus)"
