[Intro — Both] (Fiddle rises… distant bells… waves beneath the drums) Female: Hear the harbor waking… Male: Hear the ocean calling… Both: A thousand roads are waiting… And tonight we leave it all behind. [Verse 1 — Female] The lanterns are burning, the night turns to gold, I carry the stories that time couldn’t hold. The scars of the journey, the weight of the years, The storms I survived, the battles and fears. I’ve stood at the shoreline with nowhere to run, Watching the shadows surrender the sun. But something inside me still reaches the sky, A voice in the distance that refuses to die. [Verse 2 — Male] The ropes have been loosened, the anchor is gone, The tide has been waiting for far too long. No map can promise us where we will land, No fortune can measure the strength in our hands. The waves may be restless, the nights may be cold, But a restless heart was never meant to grow old. There’s a world beyond what our eyes can see, And the wind is calling you, calling me. [Pre-Chorus — Both] So raise up your voices, let the whole harbor hear, The moment we’ve waited for finally is here. The past is behind us, the future is wide, We follow the heartbeat of the endless tide. [Chorus — Both] When the ship’s whistle cries through the morning sky, We’ll answer the ocean, we were born to rise. With salt on our skin and stars as our guide, We’ll chase the horizon where the wild waters divide. Female: No more chains holding my heart to the shore… Male: No more fear of what waits beyond the door… Both: The old world is fading like mist on the sea, The open ocean is where we’re meant to be. [Bridge — Call & Response] Female: Here’s to the broken who learned how to stand… Male: Here’s to the dreamers who still chase the unknown land… Female: Here’s to the wounds that became our strength… Male: Here’s to the miles we’ll travel the length… Both: For every storm that tried to pull us under, We found our fire, we found our thunder. [Final Chorus — Both, Full Power] When the ship’s whistle cries through the morning sky, Lift up your hands, let your spirits rise. No perfect map and no promised shore, Only the courage to seek something more. The ocean is calling, the horizon is near, A song of tomorrow is louder than fear. When the ship’s whistle cries… We’ll answer the sea.
