Start where you are
[Intro] [Clean electric guitar melody with light reverb] [Drums enter with a steady, mid-tempo kick-snare] [Building anticipation] [Verse 1] The harbor was calm but the ocean was wide Sixteen and small with the wind on her side They said she was dreaming, too young for the gale With only a pink-painted hull and a sail She didn’t wait long for the years to roll by, Or look for a break in the threatening sky. She cleared the first wave as the city grew small, She looked at the ocean and answered the call. [Pre-Chorus] [Bass and drums lock in, guitars swell] The horizon is dark and the water is deep But a promise is something you make and you keep! [Chorus] [Staccato, heavy syncopated hits] Start where you are! [Rest] Use what you have! [Rest] Do what you can! [Rest] Love what you do! [Full melodic distortion resumes] [Verse 2] Now you're staring out at your own raging sea Just wondering who in the world you could be The vessel you're steering might feel made of glass While the giants and galleons easily pass But you don't need a compass of silver and gold Just a fire in your chest when the weather gets cold So throw off the anchor and tear up the map And step to the edge of the limitless gap. [Pre-Chorus] [Rhythm section builds aggressively] The horizon is dark and the water is deep But a promise is something you make and you keep! [Chorus] [Staccato, heavy syncopated hits] Start where you are! [Rest] Use what you have! [Rest] Do what you can! [Rest] Love what you do! [Full melodic distortion resumes] [Bridge] [Heavy, driving double-kick drums] [Intense, soaring vocal] It’s not in the magic, it’s not in the luck It’s the salt on the skin and the grit and the pluck! You don’t need the calm to start on the ride Just give all you’ve got to the pull of the tide! [Guitar Solo] [Melodic, soaring, high-energy solo] [Bass driving hard underneath] [Chorus] [Full anthemic power, wall of sound, no rests] [Vocals belt with pure emotion] Start where you are! Use what you have! Do what you can! Love what you do! [Outro] [Music pulls back to a steady, rhythmic bass line] Just start... From the shore to the sky... One wave at a time... And love what you do. [Final heavy power chord rings out and fades] [End]
