I went out to sea

And darkness was all I could see

Until I saw the light

Standing in the dead of night

My boat tossed and turned

I could not control the stern

But I kept on pushing forward

To keep my boat going toward

I kept my eyes upon that light

That shines in the darkest night

I fought the tides like in a war

As the waves gave a mighty roar

I could not stop now or try to quit

I kept on pushing little bit by little bit

Finally I got myself to shore

Thanks to the lighthouse upon that shore
