The Lighthouse Keeper

Verse 1

Every night he climbed the endless stairs,

Carrying a lantern through the salty air.

People said, "No ships come anymore,"

But he still unlocked the weathered door.

The waves kept crashing, the sky turned black,

Yet he never once looked back.

He whispered, "Someone's lost tonight...

And every soul deserves a light."

Pre-Chorus

Then one stormy evening, far away,

A tiny spark began to sway.

A lonely boat was fighting the sea,

Searching for a place to be.

Chorus

Shine your light into the night,

Even when nobody sees it shine.

One small flame can change a fate,

One brave heart can conquer waves.

Oh-oh, don't let the darkness win,

Oh-oh, let the hope begin.

When the world is lost at sea...

Be the light they need to see.

Verse 2

The keeper held the lantern high,

Lightning dancing through the sky.

The little boat reached solid ground,

Safe because the light was found.

Inside was a child with hopeful eyes,

Who simply smiled beneath the skies.

She said, "One day I'll stand up here...

And guide the lost from year to year."

Pre-Chorus

Years went by, the seasons changed,

But the lighthouse stayed the same.

And every night another flame...

Carried on the keeper's name.

Chorus

Shine your light into the night,

Even when nobody sees it shine.

One small flame can change a fate,

One brave heart can conquer waves.

Oh-oh, don't let the darkness win,

Oh-oh, let the hope begin.

When the world is lost at sea...

Be the light they need to see.

Bridge – Festival Build

Raise your light into the sky,

Like a thousand stars tonight.

Every heartbeat, every flame,

Can guide somebody home again.

Oh-oh-oh...

We become the light.

Oh-oh-oh...

Together we will shine.

Final Chorus

Shine your light into the night,

Now a thousand flames are burning bright.

One small act became a sea...

Of hope for everyone to see.

Oh-oh, every ending starts a spark,

Oh-oh, every light defeats the dark.

And every soul who lost their way...

Found tomorrow in the waves.

Outro

The brightest lights...

Are the ones we leave...

For someone else.
