Bouncing like a buoy
Drifting on the water
Singletary solitude
Man begins to holler
He says "man overboard."
I jump the ship
On a trip
Was a world-wide cruise
Traded riches for some fishes
I got nothing more to lose
I'm a man overboard
I'm a man overboard
If 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 light
Legs and arms are burning
I swam against the tide
Keep a light above the water
So I can see the light
I'm a man overboard
I dream about the Savior
I dream about the shore
I feel the sand
Here take my hand
And we will walk forever more
I'm a man overboard
I'm a man overboard
If 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 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 God
If 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 light
Bouncing like a buoy
Drifting on the water
