My Anchor

Verse 1

It started like a postcard morning, still and clear

Sun on the horizon, nothing left to fear

No warning in the wind, no tremble in the ground

Just a quiet kind of peace… before the siren sound

Then the sky split open, and the world turned black

All hell broke loose, there was no turning back

We didn’t hesitate, didn’t question why

We ran straight into the fire, ready there to die

Pre-Chorus

We buried who we were in the smoke and flame

Traded soft hands for a harder name

Chorus

We threw ourselves into the fight with all our might

Left our gentle side somewhere in that night

Now the echoes don’t fade, they live inside

Every breath feels like a rising tide

We lost our peace in the sound of war

Still fighting battles we can’t ignore

But just when I thought I was too far gone…

You found me, you brought me home

Verse 2

Now the silence screams louder than the guns

Every shadow feels like it’s coming undone

I wake up choking on a memory

Trying to outrun what won’t let me be

The war didn’t end when we left that place

It followed me home, wore a different face

I search for calm but it slips away

Like dust in my hands I can’t make stay

Pre-Chorus

Breathing feels like a losing fight

Trapped in the dark, reaching for light

Chorus

We threw ourselves into the fight with all our might

Left our gentle side somewhere in that night

Now the echoes don’t fade, they live inside

Every breath feels like a rising tide

We lost our peace in the sound of war

Still fighting battles we can’t ignore

But just when I thought I was too far gone…

You found me, you brought me home

Bridge

Then you came like a calm in the raging sea

Saw the broken parts of me

Didn’t run, didn’t turn away

You stayed when I couldn’t stay

You became my steady ground

The only place where I’m safe and sound

An anchor when I drift too far

You hold me close through every scar

Breakdown (soft, emotional)

You taught my lungs how to breathe again

You showed me I don’t have to live like this

Final Chorus (building, powerful)

I threw myself into the fight with all my might

Lost my gentle soul in that endless night

But your love cut through what I couldn’t see

Pulled me back from the memory

Now I’m learning peace, just breath by breath

Finding life on the edge of death

Yeah, I was lost in the war too long…

But you found me, you brought me home

Outro

From the quiet before to the chaos within

To the war that I still fight under my skin

You’re the reason I’m standing, not alone…

My anchor of love…

You brought me home.
