In a tower by the ocean's edge, where light and dark do battle,
A lonely figure protects from death's rattle,
The lighthouse keeper, through the night,
Guiding sailors with a steadfast light.
With oil and wick, he keeps the flame,
A beacon bright in the wild storm's name,
Through fog and rain, wind and tide,
He holds his post, he won't be denied.
Keeper of the light, through the cold and dark,
You stand so strong, the sun to hold and spark
With every beam that cuts the night,
You bring them safely to the morning light.
The days are long, the nights are still,
But the keeper's work he must fulfill,
To climb the stairs, to trim the lamp,
In the damp and the cold, he sets his camp.
He watches the sea with a wary eye,
For ships that pass and storms that cry,
His only company, the gull's lone call,
But the light he tends, it never falls.
Keeper of the light, through the cold and dark,
You stand so strong, the sun to hold and spark
With every beam that cuts the night,
You bring them safely to the morning light.
In the lonely hours before the dawn,
He hums a tune, his thoughts withdrawn,
To the ones at sea, who trust his hand,
As he guides them safely to the land.
His world is small, but his task so great,
To stand against the ocean's fate,
A solitary life, a guardian's role,
The lighthouse keeper, a guiding soul.
Keeper of the light, through the cold and dark,
You stand so strong, the sun to hold and spark
With every beam that cuts the night,
You bring them safely to the morning light.
The years go by, the seasons change,
But the keeper's duty stays the same,
With every storm that rolls ashore,
He lights the way forevermore.
And when his time has come to go,
The light he kept will always glow,
A legacy that shines so bright,
The lighthouse keeper's eternal light.
Keeper of the light, through the cold and dark,
You stand so strong, the sun to hold and spark
With every beam that cuts the night,
You bring them safely to the morning light.
Lighthouse Keepers, your watch endures,
In every sailor's heart, you're sure,
For when the darkest nights take flight,
We owe it all to your guiding light.
