Bouncing like a buoy Drifting on the water Singletary solitude man begins to holler He says, "man overboard" I jump ship on the trip It was a worldwide cruise Trading riches for some fishes I've 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 no where On an unforgiving sea I thank god For the light
Legs and arms are burning Swim against the tide Keep an eye 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 You take my hand And we will walk forevermore 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 unforgiving sea I thank god for the lighthouse I thank god for the light
If it wasn't for the lighthouse Where would my life be On a ship bound for nowhere On an unforgiving sea I thank god If it wasn't for the lighthouse Where would my life be On a ship bound for nowhere on an unforgiving sea I thank god for the lighthouse I thank god for the light
