Story Behind The Song
Lakes and related symbols are significant imagery. The metaphorical lighthouse is more a place and sense of inner peace than the physical structure.
Song Description
Light shining through the darkness ... initial despair of losing a loved one followed by hope and recovery. Someone facing extraordinarily tough times finding their reason for continuing.

Lyrics
Lighthouse
words & music t markus
drowning, in too deep to crawl out
from brilliant days to black doubt
fading, falling through
bound in fear
that i'm the only one here
lost you in a nightmare
you were gone before I knew
your light shines through the darkness
nothing can put it out
and there you were
guiding me from on high
my temple in a torn sky
my silent scream subdued
now it's clear
you will always be near
my sunrise on a lightyear
through darkness we?ll endure
your light shines through the darkness
nothing can put it out
you're my lighthouse
you are here for me
