There was a time,
I loathed myself
I wished to die
I couldn't live with myself
You told me to take pride,
And to love myself
You asked me to live
For you, if not for myself
I am a lost boat
You are my searchlight
You keep flashing and making me realize
That there is a shore
Just waiting in line
All I have to do is follow your light
And soon, everything would be alright
But I still hated life
I couldn't respect myself
But your words always troubled me
I started wanting to make a difference
You made me smile
And told me this was life
Those pats and hugs you gave me
Were like bandages to those bruises of mine
Cos I am a lost boat
You are my searchlight
You keep flashing and making me realize
That there is a shore
Just waiting in line
All I have to do is follow your light
And soon, everything would be alright
I started to heal
I had found the answer to life
I learnt to trust others
And to smile in my darkest times
You were my physician
42 definitely wasn't the answer to life
There were people who loved me
Who were waiting for my morning smile
Cos I am a lost boat
You are my searchlight
You keep flashing and making me realize
That there is a shore
Just waiting in line
All I have to do is follow your light
And soon, everything would be alright
Every time I felt upset,
I looked forward to your advice
But my duties are rising,
Am I not giving you enough time?
Your smile? Is it fading?
If only I could give you more time
You're so precious to me, dear friend
But my words aren't enough to tell you why
Cos I am a lost boat
You are my searchlight
You keep flashing and making me realize
That there is a shore
Just waiting in line
All I have to do is follow your light
And soon, everything would be alright
There will come a time,
When loving myself will become just another routine of life
I will want to live even in the stormy nights
Then I will happily recite these lines
I was a lost boat
You were my searchlight
You kept flashing and made me realize
That there was a shore
Just waiting in line
All I had to do was follow your light
And now, everything is alright
