[Verse 1] Safe in the harbor, watching the tide Others set sail while I stay and hide Whispers of wind call my name out loud But I'm too scared to face the crowd [Chorus] Better to sail through the hurricane's rage Than rot in the dock like a bird in a cage Storm-tested sailors know how to survive Better to fight than to never feel alive Hoist up the colors, let the wild winds blow Through thunder and lightning, that's how we grow [Verse 2] Cast off the ropes that held me down No more playing safe in this sleepy town Waves crash over, salt in my eyes But I'm learning to read these angry skies [Chorus] Better to sail through the hurricane's rage Than rot in the dock like a bird in a cage Storm-tested sailors know how to survive Better to fight than to never feel alive Hoist up the colors, let the wild winds blow Through thunder and lightning, that's how we grow [Bridge - Fast paced energetic] Heave away, heave away (the storm will pass!) Every scar's a lesson learned (built to last!) Broken masts and tattered sails Still beat sitting safe in port telling tales [Verse 3] Dawn breaks the darkness, storm's moving on Battered but breathing, I've proven I'm strong Scars on my hands from the ropes I've pulled tight Show I chose courage over comfortable nights [Chorus] Better to sail through the hurricane's rage Than rot in the dock like a bird in a cage Storm-tested sailors know how to survive Better to fight than to never feel alive Hoist up the colors, let the wild winds blow Through thunder and lightning, that's how we grow [Outro] So raise up your anchor, don't wait for calm seas The storm makes you stronger than you'll ever believe [END]
