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 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 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 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
