Verse 1

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 are lost out there

 Dont you remember how it felt til someone showed you the way

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Chorus

 Its up to you, its up to me

 To be the lighthouse

 They should know they are not alone

 So shine so they can see the lighthouse

 And find their way back home

Verse 2

 Tragically we have forgotten

The reason we are even here at all

Worst still, we remember its just that we feel so comfortable

Do we notice, do we even care

 All the people that are lost out there

 Dont you remember how it felt til someone showed you the way

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Chorus

 Its up to you, its up to me

 To be the lighthouse

 They should know they are not alone

 So shine so they can see the lighthouse

 And find their way back home

Bridge

So climb to the highest point

Scream in your loudest voice

There is 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

 Its up to you, its up to me

 They should know they are not alone

 So shine so they can see the lighthouse

 And find their way

 Its up to you, its up to me

 To be the lighthouse

 They should know they are not alone

 So shine so they can see the lighthouse

 And find their way back home
