The Mosaic on the Rock

[Intro]
[Verse]
Ten years on this jagged shore
Listening to the ocean’s roar
I bend my back to salt and sand
To take what falls from water’s hand
My boots are worn, my coat is thin
But I’ve got stories held within
I walk the line where tide meets stone
A king upon a quiet throne
[Pre-Chorus]
Green and blue and frosted white
Washed up in the dead of night
Each jagged edge is smoothed away
By the pounding of the bay
[Chorus]
So let the beacon burn for the lost at sea
Build a home for the memory
We are the glass upon the wall
Standing proud and standing tall
In the light, we find our way
Through the fog and through the spray
Oh, let the chorus rise tonight
In the glow of the tower light
[Post-Chorus]
Lay the glass down
In the hard ground
Turn the dark around
To a holy sound
[Verse]
Old Captain Jim with the silver hair
Left a shard of cobalt there
A young man’s dream in a bottle neck
Saved from the bones of a timber wreck
I remember every face I’ve known
By the colors that the tide has thrown
From the storm-sprayed glass to the rusted hinge
Where the deep blue sea and the heavens fringe
[Pre-Chorus]
Every piece is a soul I’ve met
A debt I haven't paid back yet
I’m gluing down the broken years
To wash away the sailors' fears
[Chorus]
So let the beacon burn for the lost at sea
Build a home for the memory
We are the glass upon the wall
Standing proud and standing tall
In the light, we find our way
Through the fog and through the spray
Oh, let the chorus rise tonight
In the glow of the tower light
[Bridge]
I took the mortar and the lime
To fight the heavy hands of time
I pressed the glass into the tower
To bloom like a coastal flower
A thousand lives in a single frame
Without a face, without a name
But when the sun hits the eastern side
They live again on the rising tide
[Solo]
[Breakdown]
No more drifting on the deep
No more secrets left to keep
The mosaic shines for all to see
A legacy for you and me
Stomp your feet on the wooden floor
Open up the heavy door
[Chorus]
So let the beacon burn for the lost at sea
Build a home for the memory
We are the glass upon the wall
Standing proud and standing tall
In the light, we find our way
Through the fog and through the spray
Oh, let the chorus rise tonight
In the glow of the tower light
[Post-Chorus]
Lay the glass down
In the hard ground
Turn the dark around
To a holy sound
[Outro]
