The Lighthouse

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I'll build a house, of water I'm searching high, and low Underneath the waves Where they hit the rocky shore Out by the lighthouse Heard nature say "I'm sorry, For stones and trees down below For those who tumble in God's name To an early grave Into the sea and foam Like ships tossed in a storm" And I'm standing all alone Out by the lighthouse I'll build a house, of paper Covered with words I could read She had to teach me what to say But every year we stayed Out by the lighthouse I'll build a house, so level With 7 walls, long and true The day we raised that roof up high Unto the fading light We sang the whole night through No one needed proof And I could see the moon Out by the lighthouse
