[Verse 1] I left the shore at dawn Salt on my hands, salt on my tongue Your name stayed on my coat Like a thread I could not unspun I watched the foam turn gold Watched the last line fade away I kept one small bright stone For the days you’d call my name [Pre-Chorus] And every mile said wait Every wave said prove it I was all raw nerve and faith Still I moved through it [Chorus] I have crossed the ocean (I have crossed the ocean) I came back for you I have crossed the ocean (I have crossed the ocean) Just to stand in truth If you call me home I’m already on my way I have crossed the ocean And I’m here to stay [Verse 2] New roads changed my shoes New rain made my coat run dark I learned the taste of loss In a port with no marked stars But I kept your face Like a flame in a paper cup Every storm that broke Only taught me not to stop [Pre-Chorus] And every mile said wait Every wave said prove it I was all raw nerve and faith Still I moved through it [Chorus] I have crossed the ocean (I have crossed the ocean) I came back for you I have crossed the ocean (I have crossed the ocean) Just to stand in truth If you call me home I’m already on my way I have crossed the ocean And I’m here to stay [Bridge] Let the old tide pull Let the long night bend I would cross it all For this one chance again No more borrowed maps No more looking back I found your door in me I’m never turning back [Final Chorus] I have crossed the ocean (I have crossed the ocean) Say my name, I’ll come through I have crossed the ocean (I have crossed the ocean) Now the distance is through If you call me home I’m already on my way I have crossed the ocean And I’m here to stay [I have crossed the ocean] (I have crossed the ocean)
