Analysis of The Lighthouse
Look and you shall find me.
When your lost at sea and
the waves keep on rising.
Look towards me and I will
show you the way.
When you feel lost and the
stars are not aligned.
I will reach towards the heavens
and shine like the moon so you
will find me.
I will show you the light. Bring
you out of the fog.
Where you can rest and find
peace.
I will keep the tides away and
comfort you. Feel the warmth
of the light against your sails.
Let down that anchor and rest
away your worries.
For when you look at me I will
blink twice and I am there.
I am that lighthouse you seek.
