[Intro] [Verse 1] No stars above, no shore in sight Just blackened waves and fading night I turn my bow into the rain And wait for you to flash again One beacon cuts the ocean wide A silent pulse I use to guide When everything I knew is gone Your light reminds me to sail on [Pre-Chorus] So I follow every flash Through the darkness, through the crash If you know the way back home Why do I still feel alone? [Chorus] You are my lighthouse in the storm The only shore I’ve ever known I follow every beam you throw Wherever it leads, I go But if your light leads me to the rocks Will you be there when the ocean stops? I trust your light, I trust your name But tell me Are you guiding me home Or guiding me to flame? [Verse 2] I’ve seen your light through every gale When all my other compasses failed You pulled me from the darkest blue And every time, I followed you But now the waves begin to turn The closer that I get, I burn I need to know the light is true But I don’t know if I trust you [Pre-Chorus] So I follow every flash Through the darkness, through the crash I can see the way you show But I don’t know where it goes [Chorus] You are my lighthouse in the storm The only shore I’ve ever known I follow every beam you throw Wherever it leads, I go But if your light leads me to the rocks Will you be there when the ocean stops? I trust your light, I trust your name But tell me Are you guiding me home Or guiding me to flame? [Bridge] Haul away, boys Haul away Black wind rising Endless grey Haul away, boys Haul away One light burning Far away Row through the night Row through the storm Follow the beacon Follow it home Haul away, boys Haul away! What if the light... was never meant to lead me home? [Final Chorus] You are my lighthouse in the storm The only shore I’ve ever known I still need every beam you throw But I can’t follow where you go I wish I could trust your light I wish I could let you guide But something in me won’t let go Of all the fear I keep inside So I’ll sail where your light can’t reach Beyond the shore, beyond the sea I need your light But not your course So I turn my bow Into the unknown [Outro] I’ll carry your light... Wherever I go... I’ll carry your light... But I won’t follow. Into the unknown.
