I Am The Lighthouse

In the midst of World War II

With tensions running high

Off the eastern seaboard

One dark and foggy night

A captain sighted out ahead

Just off the starboard side

The beacon of another ship

The two would soon collide

"Adjust your course 10 degrees to the north"

He radioed ahead

And much to his amazement

The ship replied instead

"Adjust your course 10 degrees to the south"

The captain felt a chill

His eyes grow cold and narrow

And the two grew closer still

"I'm the captain of this vessel

And this is a command

Adjust your course 10 degrees to the north

Or receive a reprimand"

Again the voice replying

Was calm and smooth as glass

"Adjust your course 10 degrees yo the south

I'm a seaman second class"

"I'm a U.S. naval destroyer"

Snapped the captain with a shout

"Now adjust the course 10 degrees

No discussion, over and out"

They drew unnervingly closer

His eyes fixed on the light

This time the voice ripped through the air

Like lightning tears the night

(Chorus)

I am the lighthouse

I'm the lighthouse

The path you choose is perilous

Destruction lies ahead if you delay

But if you'll trust me

I will lead you through safely

Adjust your course and you'll be on your way

I'm the lighthouse

(Bridge)

How many years will a man stay blind

Before he learns to see

And how many doors will a man kick down

While I offer him the key

And as I begin to light the way

Will he fail to recognize

That I'm there to light his path

Not blind his eyes

(Repeat chorus)
