They said there're seven cities made of gold,
And an island where the people don't grow old,
And a hero whose adventures were fore told.
And you believed.
And you believed.
There's a sword embedded in stone,
In a forest where the sun has never shone,
Near a kingdom you can conquer for your own.
And you believed.
And you believed.
In all their pretty fairy tales,
Bowed before their dime a dozen grails,
Sailed the seas to glimpse a ghostly whale.
Again you,
Again you leave.
While you lost on a mythical isle,
I will be your Ithaca.
I'll never leave this lighthouse untended,
Won't believe the story has ended.
Dreaming that your ship is in sight,
I leave the candle burning all night.
One legend I know they'll be true,
is the one that begins when you
Come home.
Come home.
They said there's a castle broken by a spell,
And a secret that the angels never tell,
And a riddle that could free the souls in hell.
And you believed.
And you believed.
There's a city lost beneath the sea,
And a prisoner who waits for you to set them free,
But the twist at the end is the prisoner is me.
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
There's always some heroic quest for you,
With a grand celestial view.
But it takes away the best of you.
Do you have to leave?
Do you have to leave?
While you lost on a mythical isle,
I will be your Ithaca.
I'll never leave this lighthouse untended,
Won't believe the story has ended.
Dreaming that your ship is in sight,
I leave the candle burning all night.
One legend I know they'll be true,
is the one that begins when you
Come home.
Come home.
I'll never understand,
the lure of Neverland.
When will you ever land here on this shore,
take my hands,
and close the door?
While you lost on a mythical isle,
I will be your Ithaca.
I'll never leave this lighthouse untended,
Won't believe the story has ended.
Though the currents have carried you far,
Turn around and I'll be your North Star.
Sirens sing but they never stay true,
So I'll sing through the storm until you
come home.
Come home.
While you lost on a mythical isle,
I will be your Ithaca.
