[Verse 1]
From the west side where the morning finds the bay
Salt on my shoulders, sand beneath my feet all day
Grandma’s old cooler, uncle’s grill beside the shore
Every cousin laughing, and we’re calling out for more
[Pre-Chorus]
I learned my name where the trade winds run
With my brothers beside me under the island sun
When the water pulls me, I know where I belong
Why-ah-nye in my chest, and my whole family strong
[Chorus]
I’m a sea rider for life, let the blue roll in
Bleeding red and blue, got that fire within
Home of the brave, where the wide waves rise
White sand under us and the salt in our eyes
Why-ah-nye, stand proud, let the whole world know
From the beach bar to the lineup, this is home
Family on the shoreline, hearts beating in time
I’m a sea rider for life, and this place is mine
[Verse 2]
Tumble Land barbecue, smoke curling through the palms
Auntie brings the trays, and the little ones bring the songs
Old boards leaning sideways by the lifeguard tower rail
We trade stories with the tide and watch the evening sail
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar from a wipeout, every board we mend
Carries all the ones before us, carries every friend
When the sun drops low, we still don’t want to leave
The ocean taught us how to fight, and how to believe
[Chorus]
I’m a sea rider for life, let the blue roll in
Bleeding red and blue, got that fire within
Home of the brave, where the wide waves rise
White sand under us and the salt in our eyes
Why-ah-nye, stand proud, let the whole world know
From the beach bar to the lineup, this is home
Family on the shoreline, hearts beating in time
I’m a sea rider for life, and this place is mine
[Bridge]
If I wander far, the current knows my way
One call from the coastline brings me back today
Red for the courage, blue for the sea
All of my people are a part of me
[Final Chorus]
I’m a sea rider for life, let the blue roll in
Bleeding red and blue, got that fire within
Home of the brave, hear the whole shore rise
White sand under us and the salt in our eyes
Why-ah-nye, stand proud, let the whole world know
From the beach bar to the lineup, this is home
Family on the shoreline, hearts beating in time
I’m a sea rider for life, and this place is mine
[Outro]
Why-ah-nye, this is home
Sea rider for life
Red and blue, side by side
Family, ocean, island pride
