[Intro – distant crew singing] Ho... Raise the sail... Follow the tide... There's a place... Far beyond the maps... Where the mermaids play. [Verse 1 – hip-hop] Compass spinning Sun burns gold Captain whispers Legends old No X marks No treasure chest Just a hidden place The ocean kept Blue horizons Crystal spray Dolphins racing Through the bay Every current Knows the way To where the mermaids Dance all day [Pre-Chorus – sea shanty harmonies] Pull the ropes! Catch the breeze! The sea is singing Through the trees! Far away Beyond the foam The ocean calls us Home! [Chorus – Tropical House + EDM] OH-OH! THAT'S WHERE THE MERMAIDS PLAY! SINGING WITH THE WAVES ALL NIGHT AND DAY! HEY! COME SAIL AWAY! FOLLOW THE TIDE DON'T BE AFRAID! OH-OH! WHERE THE WATER SHINES! WHERE THE MOONLIGHT MEETS THE TIDE! EVERY HEART KNOWS THE WAY... TO WHERE THE MERMAIDS PLAY! [Post-Chorus – tropical whistles, gang vocals] Hey! Ho! Ride the sea! Hey! Ho! Wild and free! [Verse 2 – faster rap] Palm trees swaying Island breeze Salt on skin Warm sea wind Coral castles Pearl-lit halls Laughter echoes Through them all No gold crowns No pirate kings Just songs the open ocean sings Every sunset Paints the sky Like a dream You can't deny [Bridge – calm, acoustic guitar] Some say It's only a tale... A sailor's dream... Born from too many nights At sea... Maybe. But every legend... Starts somewhere. [Sea Shanty Breakdown – stomps, claps] Heave away! Raise the mast! Make this summer Always last! Wind behind us! Stars above! Steer the ship With hope and love! [EDM Build-Up – synth risers, steel drums] Hands up! Feel the tide! Ocean heartbeat! Side by side! One more wave! One more day! Take me where... The mermaids play! [Final Chorus – full Tropical House festival drop] OH-OH! THAT'S WHERE THE MERMAIDS PLAY! EVERY SUNRISE LIGHTS THE WAY! HEY! DON'T LOOK BACK! THE SEA IS CALLING! FOLLOW THE TRACK! OH-OH! THE HORIZON GLOWS! WHERE THE ENDLESS SUMMER FLOWS! IF YOU EVER LOSE YOUR WAY... JUST FOLLOW THE SONG... WHERE THE MERMAIDS PLAY! [Outro – waves, gulls, distant shanty choir] The tide keeps its secrets... But sometimes... If the wind is just right... You can still hear them singing.
