Flicker

Have I become, a target that some people

Can't resist?

My flaws have become a greater risk

If my name is a synonym to love and

Happiness then why am I bombarded

With distress?

My old friends, haven't seen them since I

Don't know when

But I can send them a signed 8 by 10

My sweetheart, she understands why I'm away

But still it gets harder every day

But it's my delight, to sing all night

Till the sun comes up again

After all my cross isn't hard to bear

It is heavy, I am weak, but you are there

There are times when I am down and

Feel undone

You pursue me like I am your only son

My old flaws you've overlooked and put to rest

They're farther than the east is from the west

But it's my delight, to sing all night

Till the sun comes up again

Yes it's my delight, to share a flicker

Of your light

Just a ray of hope to a friend

I've spent about 24 hours in a flying

Truck stop

I haven't had a shower and 'bout to drop

It really doesn't matter if we make it all up

If it wasn't for the lighthouse

Where would my life be?

On a ship bound for nowhere

On an unforgiving sea

I thank god

If it wasn't for the lighthouse

Where would my life be?

On a ship bound for nowhere

On an unforgiving sea

I thank god for the lighthouse

I thank god for the light
