Full Lyrics: (Soft guitar → slow full‑band swell) Verse 1 Down where the creek meets the open bay Where the mist comes in at the break of day That’s where the tides begin their run Chasin’ the moon, chasin’ the sun All our seasons, all our days All our hard work, all our ways Start right here where the waters meet Red‑dirt ground and the salt‑sea beat Verse 2 We’ve seen the heat and we’ve seen the rain Walked through the joy and walked through the pain Now we look out to the year ahead New tracks to make, new tales to spread We carry the stories handed down Keep the fire burnin’ in our town For the ones before and the ones to come — This is our place, this is our home Pre‑Chorus Where the tides begin — where the river flows in Where the tides begin — where our living begins Through every season, every turn Our Queensland soul will burn and burn Chorus (big warm peak, then slow fade): Where the tides begin — river meets the sea! Where the tides begin — this is where we’ll be! Where the tides begin — through the sun and rain! Where the tides begin — home again, home again! Where the tides begin — river meets the sea! Where the tides begin — this is where we’ll be! Where the tides begin — through the sun and rain! Where the tides begin — home again, home again! (Fade: soft guitar + tide‑lap)
