Caught up in the riptide
Like a storm on a dark night, in so deep
And it's pulling me from both sides
It's hard to stay alright in this changing sea

And I'm so full of rage
Used to keep that fire to bed
Now I don't know who I've become
And another day breeds, tearing at the seams
And I hope I don't come undone

When the stars rise and fall
And I can't find my way home
Will you be my lighthouse?
When I call out your name, show me the way
Will you be my lighthouse?
Will you shine out? Show me the way

So far up a red light into the black sky
Do you see me now?
Do the echoes of my heart reach you where you are?
Do you hear the sound?

I still long to feel your touch
You're the iron in my blood
You know my love will never change
And I lie up in my bed, fighting shadows in my head
I pray you'll get to me someway

When the stars rise and fall
And I can't find my way home
Will you be my lighthouse?
When I call out your name, show me the way
Will you be my lighthouse?
Will you shine out? Show me the way

Oh, lead me home
Back to safer shores
Oh, lead me home
Back to where I belong
Oh, lead me home
Back into your arms
Oh, lead me home, home

And when the stars rise and fall
And I can't find my way home
When the sunrise won't come
Will you be my lighthouse?
When I call out your name, show me the way
Will you be my lighthouse?
Will you shine out? Show me the way
