Lighthouse (Song for Two Mothers) Songtext
von Archie Roach

When it′s dark and there's no sun
When the night and the sea become one
In these waters, treachery
A lighthouse shines, shines down on me

Lighthouse shine, shine down on me
Above us all, for all to see
Turning darkness into day
Its′ beacon light, shows us the way

Don't look for him, inside your pain
It's in your joy, that he remains
Not in the depths, depths of despair
Not in the ground, but in the air

Lighthouse shine, shine down on me
Above us all, for all to see
Turning darkness into day
Its′ beacon light, shows us the way


Oh you threw him inside your jail
But you can′t cage the great wedge-tail
For he's away, up in the blue
Circling round, embracing you

Lighthouse shine, shine down on me
Above us all, for all to see
Turning darkness, into day
Its′ beacon light, shows us the way

Oh strangers came from far away
Come to kill him so they say
But he's not dead, he′ll never be
He's killed them with, their own misery

Lighthouse shine, shine down on me
Above us all, for all to see
Turning darkness into day
Its′ beacon light, shows us the way
Its' beacon light, shows us the way
