PARADOX (LOOKING FOR A LIGHTHOUSE)

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Smoke

You say everything’s unique
Every snowflake is a masterpiece
But when I ask about your life
(you give me) That “same old/same old” speech

Today is the last day
The last day of your life
Make it the first day
Seen through eyes of clear sight

Refrain:
So grab yourself a long board
And surf into the sea
Looking for a Lighthouse
Through the fog of time and mystery

It took time to lose yourself
It takes time to be found
Temptation calls
Across familiar ground

From places where you used to hide
Places where you used to bleed
Offering the help you want
But not the help you need

Refrain:
So grab yourself a long board
And surf into the sea
Looking for a Lighthouse
Through the fog of time and mystery

We lives our lives in shadows
We avoid the light
Ashamed to be wrong
Afraid to be right

Life seems random (yet)
Somehow perfect too
To reconcile this paradox
Brings God into view

Refrain:
So grab yourself a long board
And surf into the sea
Looking for a Lighthouse
Through the fog of time and mystery
