Lyric

Up here in the clouds, I watch the city glow

Blinking like an eyelid—out, then back it goes

You’re so good at wearing “I’m fine” on your face

Still walking on, keeping that brave pace

I can tell by the scent the wind brings through

That “just a little more” is pushing you too hard

So I quietly let a map-like sound ring out for you

Whether you take the long way, or go straight ahead

Don’t let the place you come back to fade instead

That tiny little light inside your chest—hold on

Don’t lose it, don’t let it slip—keep it close, carry on

I’ll be your lighthouse, guiding from up in the sky

Riding on the waves, I send it to you tonight

You laugh and say, “It’s darkest right under the light”

But the darkest place is right there at your feet tonight

So I shine for you, from where you can’t quite see

Till you can say, “I’m okay,” and breathe

A damp sigh you never say out loud

A folded wish you hid where it won’t be found

When you leave yourself behind and slip away

My heart turns a little colder day by day

Even if the rules of the sky won’t let me touch you

I can still send a sign through

City lights that spill on your windowpane

I believe that’s your reply again

More than being right, you chose to be kind

And those are the nights you feel left behind

But listen—your back as you go, I know

It’s beautiful, you know

I’ll be your lighthouse, guiding from up in the sky

Even if you’re lost, you don’t have to hide

You say, “It’s darkest right under the light,” and it’s true

The closest light is the hardest one to see through

So I sing for you, from where you can’t quite see

Till you return to you, quietly

If this world turns like a storybook at times

Layering on darkness without reason or design

I keep a hidden key

And softly open morning’s door for you

“Here,” I say, and offer up a light

Not loud or bright—just right

Untangling the day you’re living through

A small signpost leading you

I’ll be your lighthouse, guiding from up in the sky

Naming the nameless night

Each time you say, “It’s darkest right under the light,”

You look like you might leave yourself behind

So I shine for you, from where you can’t quite see

Till you’re smiling in your sleep

This is the sky lounge—mission complete

Tomorrow, I’ll stay by your side again

A lighthouse isn’t lit just for the sea

It’s shining for you, too
