Bouncing like a buoy
Driftin' on the water
Singletary solitude, man begins to holler
He says "Man overboard"I jump the ship on the trip
It was a worldwide cruise
Trading riches for some fishes
I've got nothin' more to loseI'm a man overboard
I'm a man overboardIf it wasn't for the lighthouse
Where would my life be?
On a ship bound for nowhere
On an unforgiven sea
I thank God for the lightLegs and arms are burnin'
I swim against the tide
Keep an eye above the water
So I can see the lightI'm a man overboardI dream about the Saviour
I dream about the shore
I feel the sand, You take my hand
And we will walk for evermoreI'm a man overboard
I'm a man overboardIf it wasn't for the lighthouse
Where would my life be?
On a ship bound for nowhere
On an unforgiven sea
I thank God for the lighthouse
I thank God for the lightThe light, the light, the light, the light
The light, the light, the light, the light
The light, the light, the light, the light
...If it wasn't for the lighthouse
Where would my life be?
On a ship bound for nowhere
On an unforgiven sea
I thank GodIf it wasn't for the lighthouse
Where would my life be?
On a ship bound for nowhere
On an unforgiven sea
I thank God for the lighthouse
I thank God for the lightBouncing like a buoy
Drifting on the water
