[Intro – airy, free timing] Hmmmmm… Ohhh… I’m drifting… away… Far from the shore… ⸻ [Verse 1 – soft, flowing, breathy] I’ve been lost in the tide… with no sign, no light… Just the sound of the waves… in the middle of the night… I keep calling your name… but it fades in the blue… And the wind is the only one… answering through… With my hands in the sand… and my dreams fall apart… Feel the salt in my wounds… deep inside of my heart… There’s no road I can see… no place I can stay… Just me and the silence… drifting away… ⸻ [Chorus 1 – gentle lift, still fragile] So I hold on… hold on… don’t fade away… Even the darkest night… might find a day… But my soul feels so far… so far from the start… From the man that I was… and the place in your heart… ⸻ [Verse 2 – deeper emotion, still flowing] Now the days turn to dust… and I’m losing my mind… Talking out to the sea… like it hears me sometimes… Just a shadow of me… barely holding my name… Slowly breaking to pieces… out here in the rain… All these tears in the ocean… no one will ever know… How deep this lonely feeling… can quietly grow… And the hope that I had… slowly fading to gray… Like a light in the distance… slipping away… ⸻ [Chorus 2 – more emotional, wider vocal] Still I hold on… hold on… hear me pray… Is there a light… beyond all this gray… ‘Cause my soul barely breathes… barely holding inside… To the pieces of love… that I’m trying to hide… ⸻ [Bridge – turning point, more grounded] But then something inside me… started to rise… Like a spark in the dark… opening my eyes… From the pain and the loss… I begin to see… This broken island… is rebuilding me… ⸻ [Final Chorus – strong but still warm, not aggressive] Now I stand tall… stand tall… I found my way… Even alone… I’m not afraid… And my soul rises up… like the morning sun… I was lost in the world… now I’m becoming one… ⸻ [Outro – peaceful, resolved] No more drifting… I understand… Life has shaped me… with its hand… From cast away… to who I am…
