This song's folk-like arrangement captures the nautical feel. Metaphorically, it speaks of life with all its ups and downs, restlessness, and distraction, with the safety of the lighthouse just in the offing. The catchy melody is easy to learn and is so well crafted that it will allow the students to easily sing it expressively. Crescendos and decrescendos rise and fall naturally with the rising and falling of the melody line.
