Like a flagship
On the dark side of the ocean
On a moonless night
Out on a stormy sea

Everybody needs a beacon's light
When you're twisting
Turning, listing, yearning
For a guardian angel
To have your back
When they're coming up from behind

You're like everyone
Who's lost their way
In a world of strangers
Daggers, dangers
A tattered soul
On the jagged shoals
Of a better world to find

I'm your shelter
Your asylum
I run deep
I run silent
When the city streets
Turn violent
Close your eyes and I am there

Like a flagship
On the dark side of the ocean
On a moonless night
Out on a stormy sea
I will guide you homeward
Safely to the shoreline
Like a flagship
Lead you safely back to me
Like a flagship
I will lead you back to me

I have known you
Through the ups and downs
What makes you crazy
Lost and lazy
And the things
That make you human
Are the things
I cherish most of all

I'm not a pillar
Not made of stone
But I live and breathe
For you alone
In my heart of hearts
You've made a home
And I'll run to you
When you call

I'm your shelter
Your asylum
I run deep
I run silent
When the city streets
Turn violent
You're in my every prayer

Like a flagship
On the dark side of the ocean
On a moonless night
Out on a stormy sea
I will guide you homeward
Safely to the shoreline
Like a flagship
Lead you safely back to me
Like a flagship
I will lead you back to me

Like a flagship
On the dark side of the ocean
On a moonless night
Out on a stormy sea
I will guide you homeward
Safely to the shoreline
Like a flagship
Lead you safely back to me
Like a flagship
I will lead you back to me
Like a flagship
On the dark side of the ocean
On a moonless night
Out on a stormy sea
Like a flagship
On the dark side of the ocean
On a moonless night
Out on a stormy sea
Like a flagship
On the dark side of the ocean
