186 Steps

Sittin' atop the lighthouse
Lookin' out to sea
Wonderin' what the tides
Have in store for me
Shackled by lunar forces
Mounting to be free
Endless swells give voice
Lessons, hard to see
Seems I've been here before
Time again to face the fight
Been here before
Where all wrongs feel right
Been here before
186 steps till I see the light
Fog creeps in slowly
Strangle hold on me
Tempting words of suffrage
Won't it let me be
Struggle with my captor
Break it's balmy grip
Solace from the ocean
I'm just another ship
Ships face such peril
Kalliningrad to Bali
Navigating tameless waters
Helpless cries from sea
Light nursing passage
Reflecting back at me
Endless journey pauses
Trials of eternity
Seems I've been here before
Time again to face the fight
Been here before
Where all wrongs feel right
Been here before
186 steps till I see the light
