As I look across the sea
I see that beautiful lighthouse
that is looking back at me,

With it’s glowing beacon light
I think of how you have made our lives bright,

You have shown us all the right way to go,
Like the lighthouse with it’s beacon light all a glow,

When the sailor feels so much alone,
The lighthouse has given them hope that they are almost home,

It is like the light you have given to me,
I am so sorry it took me so long to see

But when the fog lifts you are able to see so much more,
Especially to the sailor that sees the shore

As for myself I know what I have to do
I have to remember, that all that I have read in the Bible is true

That someday that we will meet again on that beautiful shore
Where our lighthouse beacon will glow forever more

So as you leave us for places unknown
I want to be remembered as one of the Sr. Soldiers that has grown!
