Lyrics

There stood a tower by the sea,
Its lantern burned through night.
Every ship that crossed those waves
Found harbor by its light.
The old men taught their sons to sail,
"Trust what stands, not what you feel."
The ocean never changed its mind,
Though every storm was real.
Then a merchant came ashore,
With something bright and new.
He smiled and said,
"I've built a better way…
One made just for you."
Throw away the lighthouse.
Trust the compass in your hand.
It will always point you
Toward the place you understand.
No more borrowed bearings.
No more waiting on the shore.
Every captain charts his own horizon…
Who needs the lighthouse anymore?
The first few days were beautiful.
Each ship found calmer seas.
Every sailor swore they'd found
The freedom of the breeze.
One sailed east.
One turned west.
Each convinced they'd found the way.
Funny how a thousand courses
All looked right that day.
No one noticed
Every needle
Quietly had learned
To point
Where each heart
Longed to turn.
Throw away the lighthouse.
Trust the compass in your hand.
Truth is just the harbor
You decide you'll understand.
No more ancient warnings.
No more maps from those before.
Every captain writes his own horizon…
Who needs the lighthouse anymore?
Months became years.
Stories filled the docks.
"We almost made it."
"The storm was just too strong."
"The sea betrayed us."
No one thought to ask
If the sea
Was ever wrong.
Then one old sailor
Pulled a weathered compass
From beneath his coat.
Its needle never chased
The heart.
It sought
The light.
Raise the lighthouse.
Lift your eyes above the waves.
A compass that obeys the heart
Can never truly save.
The sea has never hated us.
It simply will not bend.
Truth was never ours to redesign.
The light was always
Pointing home.
The question was…
Would we trust
The Light…
Or only
Ourselves?
Or only
Ourselves?
