From Richie's official Facebook page:
“LIGHTHOUSE” is a brand new song written by RICHIE SAMBORA specifically to be performed at the MAY 27, 2014 “Can We Talk… Are You Listening” Drug Awareness Forum at the Pine Belt Arena in Tom’s River, New Jersey.
RICHIE began conceptualizing the song a while back but even up until the last moments (during soundcheck) he was still changing lyrics… this is a newborn song. RICHIE performed it last night live for the audience for the very first time and was backed by the Manchester High School Chorus.
RICHIE plans to record the song in a proper studio setting ASAP and get up in iTunes.
Once there’s more information and details, we’ll share it with you here.
In the meantime, following are the LYRICS to LIGHTHOUSE
WHEN YOU’RE BLINDED, CONFUSED
BLUE SKIES SEEM PAINTED GREY
YOU CAN’T HEAR THE WHISPER
WHEN AN ANGEL CALLS YOUR NAME
YOU’RE STRUNG OUT COLD
WHILE YOU FIGHT YOUR PERSONAL WAR
ONCE UPON A TIME PEER PRESSURE CROSSED A LINE
OUR KIDS AIN’T NEEDING NEEDLES ANYMORE
CHORUS:
THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE, THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE
THROUGH THE FOG AND THE DARK
WE CAN BRAVE OUR HEAVY LOAD
THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE, THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE
FIND A BEACON OF HOPE
‘TIL WE WALK DOWN FREEDOM’S ROAD
I KNOW IT’S HARD TO IMAGINE
THAT TOMORROW TURNS BRIGHT
BUT YOU’RE HEADING FOR SAFE HARBOUR
AND SERENITY’S IN SIGHT
WHO JUDGE DON’T MATTER
THOSE WHO MATTER DON’T JUDGE
YOU’RE SWIMMING WITH THE TIDE
IN THE WAKE OF THE FLOOD
CHORUS:
THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE, THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE
THROUGH THE FOG AND THE DARK
WE CAN BRAVE OUR HEAVY LOAD
THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE, THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE
FIND A BEACON OF HOPE
‘TIL WE WALK DOWN FREEDOM’S ROAD
- SOLO-
WE ALL HAVE BROKEN PIECES
BLEEDING INSIDE
THEY OBLITERATE OUR CONFIDENCE
AND POISON OUR PRIDE
YOU DRIFTED FAR FROM THE SHORE
LIVIN’ DARK DAYS ALONE
THERE’S A BEACON OF HOPE
THAT WILL LEAD YOU HOME
THERE’S A BEACON OF LOVE
THAT WILL GUIDE YOU HOME
CHORUS:
THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE, THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE
THROUGH THE FOG AND THE DARK
WE CAN BRAVE OUR HEAVY LOAD
THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE, THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE
FIND A BEACON OF HOPE
‘TIL WE WALK DOWN FREEDOM’S ROAD
THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE, THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE
IF YOU JUST TAKE MY HAND I WILL STAND WITH YOU
THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE, THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE
THERE’S NO TELLING WHAT TRUE LOVE CAN DO
