The sunlight calls me

Dancing on the waves

I walk the shores abroad

And when they're dry I'm free to roam

I feel a pull

When we watch our ships burn at the shoreline

Do we lose our freedom underneath the ocean waves?

Can this land provide?

Anchor's iron rests deep on seabed

Swaying pine I trade for sand

Terrified yet drawn in deeper

I cut a path with bleeding hands
Ebmaj7
This expanse holds more beneath

Though could it be vast as the sea?

A captain caught between two minds

One needs to stay one pleads to leave

Strike the match while the will is strong

This ground is home
