I was stranded in the ocean,
the water up to my knees.
They left me there for dead,
saying the truth would set me free.
I couldn't see the edge,
I was preparing for my plea.
Then there it was, the lighthouse,
staring down at me.
The dark ocean is my comfort,
the music comes from the sea.
The crashing against the rocks,
plays a symphony for me.
The calmness of the storm,
the rumble that it breeds.
We are ready for the next one,
the lighthouse and me.
