Bouncing like a buoy

Drifting on the water

Singletary solitute 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 trip bound for nowhere

On a unforgiving sea

I thank god for the light





Legs and arms are burning

I 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 saviour

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

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
