This was written for the dedication of the Maine quarter, which has an image of the Pemaquid Lighthouse, near where we live, on the reverse

lyrics

I see a beacon on the rocks above the swirling foam
A shining light that through the night is welcoming us home
And in the morning standing proudly in the rising sun
It signals to all wanderers their new day has begun

Chorus:
The Lighthouse on the Shore, wherever we may roam
The Lighthouse on the Shore will guide the traveler home


When sailing vessels plowed the seas for fortune and for fame
All sailors feared the dangers on the rocky coast of Maine
They prayed for mercy from the wild and restless wind and wave
And for a guiding light to keep them from a watery grave

Our fathers built the lighthouse for the benefit of all
For ships of every nation, for vessels great and small
Just as it lifts the spirits of the mariner homeward bound
We too can find direction when there's darkness all around
