One Step Into the Tide Verse 1 I came to you with nothing up my sleeve, No borrowed truth, no beautiful disguise, I laid my name like water in your hands, And let you read the weather in my eyes. I know your harbor learned to fear the ships, Too many sailed beneath a faithful flag, Then left you counting wreckage in the dark, With every promise something you could drag. Pre-Chorus So I won't ask you to forget the storms, Or call your caution cruel— I only ask you not to make Their lies my only rule. Chorus Take one step into the tide with me, Not far enough to lose the shore. You don't have to give your heart away, Just leave it open like a door. Let time decide if I am what I say, Let every action testify— Love doesn't need a blind leap of faith, Just one small step into the tide. Verse 2 Your silence shines like neon through the night: NO ENTRY — DANGER LIVES INSIDE. And I can see the fingerprints of those Who taught your tenderness to run and hide. But I am not requesting innocence, Or asking fear to disappear on cue. Bring every doubt you carry to the shore— I'll stand there long enough to answer you. Pre-Chorus Because a heart that's broken more than once Has earned the right to move As slowly as it needs to move Before it calls something truth. Chorus Take one step into the tide with me, Not far enough to lose the shore. You don't have to give your heart away, Just leave it open like a door. Let time decide if I am what I say, Let every action testify— Love doesn't need a blind leap of faith, Just one small step into the tide. Bridge Don't trust the roses in my hands, Watch what I do when roses die. Don't trust the poetry I speak, Watch if my truth survives the night. And if tomorrow proves me false, Turn back—I will not ask you why. But if I'm still here when storms arrive... Come a little deeper with the tide. Final Chorus Take one step into the tide with me, The moon will keep the shore in sight. I will not pull you toward the deep, Or call your hesitation wrong tonight. Let days become the evidence No words could ever certify— And maybe trust will learn to swim Where fear once taught your heart to hide. Outro No oath... No grand design... Just your hand near mine, And one small step Into the tide.
