The overriding metaphor of this song is that of a Lighthouse, and the protection it promises. All that talk of "light", "Shorelines", and Ocean's make this rather self-evident.
The line none of you can figure out is "We will always be a light - YOU CAN SEE IT FROM THE SURFACE, SEE IT?" in sticking with the lighthouse metaphor...
having seen them perform this song in person no less than 3 times I am quite certain of those lyrics, and they certainly make sense in the context of the song
