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
