Like ships bound for shipwreck, Most people just simply drift along And miss their destination without knowing anything is wrong No direction and without a care Feels so good and then you're lost out there Don't you remember how it felt 'til someone showed you the way? (Oooooh, oooooooh, ooooooh, oh, oh, oh)
It's up to you, it's up to me To be the lighthouse They should know they're not alone So shine so they can see the lighthouse And find their way back home
Tragically we've forgotten The reason we're even here at all Worse still, we remember, it's just that we feel so comfortable Do we notice, do we even care? All the people that are lost out there Don't you remember how it felt 'til someone showed you the way? (Oooooh, oooooooh, ooooooh, oh, oh, oh)
It's up to you, it's up to me To be the lighthouse They should know they're not alone So shine so they can see the lighthouse And find their way back home
So climb to the highest point Scream in your loudest voice There's a lifeline waiting for you Strike up the brightest fire Fan the flames and let it burn Just let it burn, the world is waiting
It's up to you, it's up to me They should know they're not alone So shine so they can see the lighthouse And find their way
It's up to you, it's up to me To be the lighthouse They should know they're not alone So shine so they can see the lighthouse And find their way back home
