the bar stool preachers - lighthouse keeper lyrics
[verse 1]
catch a break, catch a plane, catch something else
it’s hard to catch the truth when you’ve been running from yourself
take a long shower, take a day or two
just do things in your own time
do what you’ve gotta do
[verse 2]
you want to be a lighthouse keeper
all alone at the very edge of the world
go ahead, young girl
you wanna be a lion tamer
get your head bitten off any way you can
go ahead, young man
all i’m saying is i know people
finding redemption under a bridge
the path to happy ain’t straight
so get your kicks any way that you can, kid
[chorus]
’cause you can’t change the direction of these winds
but adjust your sails
and all it takes is one moment
for your good intentions to prevail
and they won’t fail
[verse 3]
you wanna be mother theresa
like yours alone is the world to save
well, i remember those days
you reckon you’re mahatma gandhi
and not eating is gonna prove ’em all wrong
we’re too far gone
so why not try patience? try kindness?
yeah, try something new!
take ten minutes, have a breather
yeah, take some time to just do you
[chorus]
’cause you can’t change the direction of these winds
but adjust your sails
and all it takes is one moment
for your good intentions to prevail
and they won’t fail
