Setting out upon the waves in darkness and upheaval
I was told that I alone would not know good and evil
Oh, but in time
But, oh, in time

It came to me
That as my ship would fall and rise
I could turn and lift my eyes
To the light
A distant light

And there will always be
The light and the sea
The roiling sea
The light and me

And as the days went by I turned my wheel towards the thunder
Taking on a challenge that I knew could take me under
Oh, and it took me down
And, oh, it took me down

And it came to me
As I cursed the stem and sail
And called it fate that I should fail
There is a light
There is a light

And there will always be
The light and the sea
The roiling sea
The light and me

And it all comes down
Down to me
To feel the presence of my soul
Amidst the torrents and the cold
Of the sea

And there will always be
The light and the sea
The roiling sea
The light and me
The light and me
