Lighthouse

Sat here now, in my little flat
Somehow confused about, where I'm going back
Cause right now I'm surrounded
By ten by nine walls
Packed bags, guitar cases like my friends from halls

I didn't go to no uni, didn't earn a degree
But I'm twenty years old- there's life left in me
Just the real world called
And asked where I was at
And I said I'm writing stories on the floor this I'm sat

Come, and rest now,
In the middle of the storm
Can I be a lighthouse
To guide you back home
Come and touch down
From being so high
I'll be a lighthouse
With the door open wide

Transition into remission, it's a family tradition
Every four years I'm moving to a house on a mission
Make home, lay your roots
Learn new people's names
Join a club, learn to bake, you get used to the pain

Out here, in the open, as a child unspoken
I found my voice through the tones
Of the strings that I've broken
And through all the noise, and the pre-owned toys
I learnt from nights of sorrow
That they'll come great joy

Come, and rest now
In the middle of the storm
Can I be a lighthouse
To guide you back home
Come and touch down
From being so high
I'll be a lighthouse
With the door open wide
I'll be a lighthouse
With the door open wide
I'll be a lighthouse
With the door open wide
I'll be a lighthouse
With the door open wide
I'll be a lighthouse
With the door open wide

Oh that I'd have wings, like a dove
I'd fly away and rest
I'd fly far away, to the quietness
Of wilderness

How quickly I'd escape
From the wild storm of hatred
For you have ransomed me, and I know
That you will keep me safe

Come, and rest now
In the middle of the storm
Can I be a lighthouse
To guide you back home
Come and touch down
From being so high
I'll be a lighthouse
With the door open wide
I'll be a lighthouse
With the door open wide
