[Intro]
Raise the canvas, check the line
Salt on the rail, the tide is mine
[Verse 1]
I step on deck with a map in my hand
Compass keeps time while I chart new land
Rope burns red where I pull that knot
Every wave tests what the captain's got
No gold in the chest, just a code in the foam
I read each current like a road back home
Crew on the bow and the storm rolling near
But I steer through the pressure, I don't steer by fear
[Pre-Chorus]
Blue water rising, hull cuts clean
A whole wide world where the wake has been
[Chorus]
High on the seas, let the tall mast lean
We chase that horizon where the air turns clean
High on the seas, with the salt in our teeth
No shore can hold us, no chain underneath
[Verse 2]
Tide pulls hard but the rhythm stays steady
Lanterns swing and the whole crew's ready
I got a weathered deck and a weathered plan
Still making big moves with a small supply span
From the harbor wall to the open swell
Every mile got a story that the water can tell
I don't need a throne or a flag in the breeze
Just a clear route forward and a wind at my knees
[Pre-Chorus]
Blue water rising, hull cuts clean
A whole wide world where the wake has been
[Chorus]
High on the seas, let the tall mast lean
We chase that horizon where the air turns clean
High on the seas, with the salt in our teeth
No shore can hold us, no chain underneath
[Bridge]
If the night comes down, keep the beacon bright
If the compass shakes, keep your hands on the guide
One breath, one deck, one crew, one dream
We ride that border where the sky meets sea
[Final Chorus]
High on the seas, let the tall mast lean
We chase that horizon where the air turns clean
High on the seas, with the salt in our teeth
No shore can hold us, no chain underneath
[Outro]
Wake behind us, open water ahead
Carry these words where the blue waves spread
