Bouncing like a buoy   Drifting on the water   Singletary solitude   Man begins to holler   He says "man overboard."      I jump the ship   On a trip   Was a world-wide cruise   Traded riches for some fishes   I got nothing more to lose   I'm a man overboard   I'm a man overboard      If it wasn't for the lighthouse   Where would my life be?   On a ship bound for nowhere   On an unforgiven sea   I thank God for the light      Legs and arms are burning   I swam against the tide   Keep a light above the water   So I can see the light   I'm a man overboard      I dream about the Savior   I dream about the shore   I feel the sand   Here take my hand   And we will walk forever more   I'm a man overboard   I'm a man overboard      If it wasn't for the lighthouse   Where would my life be?   On a ship bound for nowhere   On an unforgiven sea   I thank God for the lighthouse   I thank God for the light   (the light...)      If it wasn't for the lighthouse   Where would my life be?   On a ship bound for nowhere   On an unforgiven sea   I thank God      If it wasn't for the lighthouse   Where would my life be?   On a ship bound for nowhere   On an unforgiven sea   I thank God for the lighthouse   I thank God for the light      Bouncing like a buoy   Drifting on the water
