[Verse 1]
Rise with the tide and the morning breeze
Coconut trees swayin’ over turquoise seas
From Weno out to the reef beyond
My spirit sings, this is where I belong
A place where the stars light the ocean wide
And the stories live through our island pride
Net in hand, casting through the day
We fish, we laugh, we live the island way
[Chorus]
Ohhh Chuuk, you’re the rhythm in my soul
From the island roots to the ocean’s roll
In your waters I was born and raised
With island love that’ll never fade
Chuukese heart, strong and true
Wherever I go, I carry you
[Verse 2]
Canoes glide on the moonlit bay
Grandpa’s tales echo where the children play
Every village got a song to sing
Of faith, of love, of everything
We gather ‘round when the sun dips low
Singin’ island hymns in the fire’s glow
Even far from home, I still hear the call
Of my people, my land, I feel it all
[Chorus]
Ohhh Chuuk, you’re the rhythm in my soul
From the island roots to the ocean’s roll
In your waters I was born and raised
With island love that’ll never fade
Chuukese heart, strong and true
Wherever I go, I carry you
[Bridge – Spoken Word Flow / Rap style]
Salt in the air, peace in the land
Family tighter than a woven pandan
Taro, breadfruit, and the reef provide
With God in our hearts and culture as guide
From Fefen to Tonoas, we rise
Warrior blood, truth in our eyes
No matter the storm, we never fall
Chuukese soul — we stand tall
[Final Chorus – Harmonized with island instruments]
Ohhh Chuuk, you’re the rhythm in my soul
From the island roots to the ocean’s roll
In your waters I was born and raised
With island love that’ll never fade
Chuukese heart, strong and true
Wherever I go, I carry you
[Outro]
So when the wind sings over the sea
I know Chuuk will always be a part of me
