Title: “Edge of the Tide”
Verse 1
I’m standing on the edge where the cold winds bite,
Salt on my skin, staring into the night.
Every scar tells a story I survived,
Every wave whispers reasons to stay alive.
I’ve been broken by storms I couldn’t outrun,
Fought my shadows ‘til the damage was done.
But the horizon still calls my name,
Like freedom’s a fire I can’t contain.
Pre-Chorus
I’ve carried the weight, I’ve bled for the truth,
Lost a piece of myself just to find something new.
Chorus
On the edge of the tide, I won’t let go,
I hear the sea say, you’re stronger than you know.
Through the fight, through the fear, through the pain inside,
I’ll ride this storm — yeah, I’m still alive.
With the wind in my chest and the road in my sight,
I choose freedom tonight.
Verse 2
Engine screams like a heartbeat loud,
Dust in my lungs, I don’t look back now.
Miles of doubt in the rearview fade,
I earned every breath that I ever saved.
I’ve walked alone through the darkest days,
Learned the hard way hope don’t come easy or safe.
But every fall taught me how to stand,
I’m more than the wreck of a broken plan.
Pre-Chorus
I’ve tasted defeat, I’ve stared down the end,
But the fire in my blood won’t bend.
Chorus
On the edge of the tide, I won’t let go,
I hear the sea say, you’re stronger than you know.
Through the fight, through the fear, through the pain inside,
I’ll ride this storm — yeah, I’m still alive.
With the wind in my chest and the road in my sight,
I choose freedom tonight.
Bridge
If I fall, let it be facing the sky,
If I break, I’ll break reaching for light.
I’m done being caged by yesterday,
I was born for the open — I was born to escape.
(Guitar solo — slow bend, emotional, then rising)
Final Chorus
On the edge of the tide, hear me roar,
I’m not the man I was before.
Through the scars, through the fight, through the endless night,
I found my truth in the fire and fight.
With the sea at my back and the dawn in sight,
I choose freedom tonight.
Outro
Yeah, the waves still crash, the road still calls,
I stand unbroken — I didn’t fall.
