[Verse 1] I count the cost in rooms I know, The fragile hours I can't let go. The thing I want keeps calling still, A distant shore beyond my will. [Pre-Chorus] I feel the water change its weight, A whole horizon at the gate. [Chorus] When the tsunami lifts its wall, I don't have to lose it all. I can take one step, then breathe, Hold what matters; let the wanting lead. When the tsunami fills the sky, I won't mistake the wave for why. I'll keep my feet, I'll choose my pace, And meet the tide without erasing what I save. [Verse 2] No grand escape, no clean restart, Just careful courage, part by part. I name the risks, I leave some room For ordinary days to bloom. [Half-Time Breakdown] If I can't cross in one brave leap, I'll make a promise I can keep. A measured move, a steady hand, The shore is not an all-or-nothing land. [Final Chorus] When the tsunami lifts its wall, I don't have to lose it all. One step forward, one breath clear, I can want more and stay right here. When the tsunami fills the sky, I won't mistake the wave for why. I'll keep my feet, I'll choose my pace, And meet the tide—still holding what I save. [Outro] I choose my pace. I keep what I save. [Instrumental cadence: firm final chord, let ring and resolve]
