about

A song to inspire ourselves to action

lyrics

BUILD A LIGHTHOUSE
I WAS RIDING MY BIKE IN THE RAIN… PAST THE CAMPS,
PAST THE LONG LOST SOULS,
WHO FELL THRU HOLES IN THEIR LIVES,
HE WAS TALKING TO HIMSELF LIKE MAD AS I PASSED,
HE WAS LOST AT SEA WHILE SHIPS LIKE ME,
SAILED BY, SAILED BY, SAILED BY…
chorus
BUILD A LIGHTHOUSE FOR ALL THE SAILORS,
WHO ARE LOST AT SEA,
TELL THE HOPELESS THERE’S A HARBOUR,
THERE’S A PLACE TO SLEEP - THERE’S A PLACE TO SLEEP.

THERE’S A WOMAN THAT I SEE SOMETIMES,
WHO’S GROWN WEAK,
AND SHE’S NOT TO BLAME FOR HER BODY’S PAINFUL TOLL,
AND SHE’S SINKING AS THEY BUILD AN ARK,
THAT LEAKS,
ALL THEIR PRAYERS AND PLANS,
LIKE ROPES OF SAND WON’T HOLD,
WON’T HOLD, WON’T HOLD…
Chorus, then bridge:
AND IF THE QUEER KIDS SWIM ALONE,
CAN THEY MAKE IT ON THEIR OWN, (F chord)
CAN THEY MAKE IT SAFELY HOME

WE ARE SINKING IN A SEA OF HANDS REACHING OUT,
WE CAN’T LIFT THEM ALL,
AS THEIR STORMS & SQUALL RUN DEEP,
AND I WORRY THAT I MIGHT DROWN,
IN THEIR DESPAIR,
CAN WE RISE ABOVE TO FIND THE LOVE THEY NEED,
THEY NEED, THEY NEED…
