Lighthouse
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know, oh
I know
That look on your face
Says you’re going through some things
And for sure
Maybe for sure
I’m here
Mmm hmm here for you baby
Yes
Whatever it is
Trouble is deep
I can see by your eyes
They’re heavy to me
Talk to me baby
I am your shelter
You’re safe from harm
Tornado, lightening, hurricane
Can’t get by me
Come under my love
Feel the energy
Let go
Lay your burdens down (lay your burdens down)
Lay’em down
Lay’em down
Lay your burdens down
Lay’em down
Lay’em down
Lay your burdens down
Can’t get by me
Come under my love
Feel the energy
Let go
Lay your burdens down
Look here hol’ up
You got a lot goin on
I can see
By the way you walk
And how you got your shoulders on
Baby everybody get wet
When the rain is falling
Can’t stop now cause the wind is foreign
It’s a fact
Of the universe
That sometimes
Life is pain
And it can hurt
But I know
That it’ll get better
Because you’ve gone through worse
Hey
Whatever it is
Trouble is deep
I can tell by your eyes they’re heavy to me
Oh my baby
I am mmmm
Sitting here
Contemplating
If we should even be
See I’m in love with a man
Who loves me
For me
He’d do anything
Easily
Oh his heart knows no boundaries
But
He needs
Sometimes
To write
With a different pen
On different paper
He needs
Oh
He needs
He needs
Mmm hmmm
So I’m sitting here
Contemplating
If we should even be
Like him
I, too, have needs
Like
Like my
Hypnotic and sweet
Like
Part of the dream
And I need you
On the other side of the speaker
To look up a little more
And think a little deeper
And live in your truth
I need that too
I need to do that too
I need
Sitting here…
Contemplating
