Lighthouse - A song by Shula Levin and Rivka Amado

Описание: A poem about a person who gave of himself to others, who for years served as a source of knowledge and wisdom, like a lighthouse at sea guiding sailors so they would not crash upon the rocks.
And one day he decides to change direction in his life, yet still leaves behind small traces of light, like gemstones, ensuring that people will still find value in the knowledge and wisdom he left behind.
And when he sees that people are indeed discovering those gemstones and managing with what he left for them, he feels content knowing that the world will continue even without him, and he is free to walk his own new path, with no one dependent on him anymore.

Once I was a lighthouse
Of knowledge on the beach
I have been a speck of light
To keep on flying high

They all knew how to reach me
And ask for help
But at a moment of grace
I prepared to say goodbye

So I left behind
Pearls of wisdom in the sand
Tiny lamps of light
To illuminate everything for them

Like street and traffic signs
I helped people find their way
To find them pearls
Diamonds of value

So I left behind
Pearls of wisdom buried in the sand
Tiny lamps of light
To illuminate everything for them

And everyone who reaches
Succeeds to calm down
my worries
and makes me feel
That the world goes on
even without me
