[Verse 1] They say we love the gold and guns The rum, the fights, the setting sun They swear we shout the letter “R” Like it’s the thing that made us scarred But ask a pirate where he’s been Or where he’ll go when luck runs thin He’ll grin and point where waves run free And say, “Me heart belongs to the sea.” [Chorus – Big & Catchy] Oh it’s not the R like you think it be It’s the rollin’, crashin’, callin’ sea From the deck to the deep, we are truly free A pirate’s favorite letter’s the C! HEY! The C! HEY! The C! [Verse 2] The sea taught us to steal our sleep Rocked our bones and kept our secrets deep She fed us storms and buried friends But gave us truth till the bitter end No king’s command, no judge’s plea Ever held the same pull on me Ink on maps and salt on skin She drags you out—and pulls you in [Chorus] Oh it’s not the R like you think it be It’s the rollin’, crashin’, callin’ sea From the deck to the deep, we are truly free A pirate’s favorite letter’s the C! HEY! The C! HEY! The C! [Bridge – Breakdown / Chant] No crown! No chains! No land! No name! [Final Chorus – Faster / Louder] Oh it’s not the R you hear us cry It’s the wave that lifts us to the sky If we live, we live wild—if we die, we’re free A pirate’s favorite letter’s the C! HEY! THE C! HEY! THE C! [Outro – Spoken] So remember this when you hear us laugh— We don’t chase letters… We chase the sea
