Lyrics:
We were destined to break away,
You were the lighthouse on the bay.
I was a ship in the ocean. When the skies were gray,
You showed me where to go by showing me where I’m not meant to stay.
But now we’re free to make the choices,
We were never free to make.
I’m free to see the world.
And now you have the freedom to paint.
When I saw those matching graves,
I didn’t even know how to be behave.
I knew my death would be this earth and that my life was in the waves,
So I sold my everything so that my spirit could be saved.
And now we’re free to make the choices,
We were never free to choose.
You’re free to be whoever you want to be,
And now I am free to sail the sea and cruise.
And I’m sorry I can’t love like you deserve to be loved.
At least not in that kind of way.
I’m sorry that I hurt you, sorry that I wanted to desert you,
I’m sorry that I ran away.
But now we’re free to make the choices, We couldn’t ever make before. I’m glad that we both found it; We found the men that we adore.
And Mary, if there is a God above,
Then I’ll bless you every time that I pray.
I only found the man I love,
‘Cause you were my lighthouse on the bay.
