Trust the sky

I was born beside the shoreline, where the palm trees grow With the salty breeze upon my face, that's all I need to know My father was a sailor, my mother was the tide They taught me how to read the stars and how to trust the sky I've been on this island way too long, my heart is getting dry I can hear the distant thunder, I can see the gulls fly by The anchor's getting rusty, and the rope is wearing thin It's time to chase the horizon, let the journey begin Take me to the ocean, where the wild winds blow Where the water's deep and blue, and the currents flow Let me feel the freedom, let me touch the sky With the salt upon my lips, I'm alive, I'm alive Oh, the sea will always set me free I've seen the dolphins dancing in the morning light I've watched the shooting stars illuminate the night Every wave is like a story, every crest a brand new page Writing tales of ancient sailors on a timeless stage And when the storm comes raging, I won't be afraid I've got the compass in my pocket and the promises I've made The thunder is my music, the lightning is my flame I'll ride the roaring waters, I'll never be the same Take me to the ocean, where the wild winds blow Where the water's deep and blue, and the currents flow Let me feel the freedom, let me touch the sky With the salt upon my lips, I'm alive, I'm alive Oh, the sea will always set me free And when the sun is setting and the sky turns gold I'll whisper to the waves the stories never told The ocean is my mother the moon is my guide I'll sail forever with the rhythm of the tide Saltwater in my veins Freedom in my soul One love one ocean Makes me whole
