Like ships bound for shipwreck
Most people just simply drift along
And miss their destination without knowing anything is wrong
No direction and without a care
Feels so good and then you're lost out there
Don't you remember how it felt 'til someone showed you the way

It's up to you, it's up to me
To be the lighthouse
They should know they're not alone
So shine so they can see the lighthouse
And find their way back home

Tragically we've forgotten
The reason we're even here at all
Worst still, we remember it's just that we feel so comfortable
Do we notice, do we even care
All the people that are lost out there
Don't you remember how it felt 'til someone showed you the way

It's up to you, it's up to me
To be the lighthouse
They should know they're not alone
So shine so they can see the lighthouse
And find their way back home

So climb to the highest point
Scream in your loudest voice
There's a lifeline waiting for you
Strike up the brightest fire
Fan the flames and let it burn
Just let it burn, the world is waiting

It's up to you, it's up to me
They should know they're not alone
So shine so they can see the lighthouse
And find their way

It's up to you, it's up to me
To be the lighthouse
They should know they're not alone
So shine so they can see the lighthouse
And find their way back home
