Shed your light out onto the ocean
Saved or Saviour – it’s just the same
For a lighthouse in Nova Scotia
With a doorbell that carries your name
There’s a whaler outside, hoping someday to get home
He’s been away for far too long
There’s a whaler outside, hoping someday to get home
Hoping to get home
Standing mighty, standing sacred
Brave the weather, heroic at times
Turned your light away from the ocean – every time
A sailor confessed to his crimes
You’re the sailor and the lighthouse
Saved and Saviour at the same time
Shining back on the way you’ve come
Afraid of coming too close
