[Verse 1]
This world's not my home
I'm a stranger to the storm (Save me, save me)
Where the race is quickest
The tide runs strong (Save me, save me)
A big sky above me, west winds blow
Sailing long distance, breaking the foam

[Chorus]
There's a lighthouse shining in the black
A lighthouse standing in the dark
All the world's a ship
Shipwrecked on the seas
Breaking up in pieces
We're clinging to the reef
There's a lighthouse

[Verse 2]
There's a sky full of trouble
Lifetimes and fear (Save me, save me)
Taking the soundings
Now the tempest is here (Save me, save me)
And daylight is breaking on outstretched hands
Lost on the ocean, reaching for land

[Chorus]
There's a lighthouse shining in the black
A lighthouse standing in the dark
All the world's a ship
Shipwrecked on the seas
Breaking up in pieces
We're clinging to the reef
There's a lighthouse
There's a lighthouse shining in the black
A lighthouse standing in the dark
All the world's a ship
Shipwrecked on the seas
Breaking up in pieces
We're clinging to the reef
There's a lighthouse
A lighthouse
A lighthouse
There's a lighthouse

[Outro]
Holdin' on, holdin' on
Holdin' on, holdin' on
You gotta keep holdin' on, holdin' on
Oh, holdin' on, holdin' on
Holdin' on, holdin' on
Oh, you gotta keep holdin' on, holdin' on
You gotta keep holdin' on, holdin' on
Holdin' on, holdin' on
