[Verse 1]
You say your time has come

That single solitary guide, it must get lonely there sometimes
[Verse 2]
You were a child forgot

[Chorus]
Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat, or see its light
That single solitary guide, it must get lonely there sometimes
[Bridge]
Let me stand by you
The honor is mine
Let me stand by you
Loneliest light, loneliest light, loneliest light
[Chorus]
Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat, or see its light
That single solitary guide, it must get lonely there sometimes
The Beacon was written by Alison Sudol.
The Beacon was produced by Lukas Burton.
