**[Verse 1]**
C G
From the east where the sunrise glows,
Am F
To the west where the trade wind blows,
C G
Different flags but the same heartbeat,
Am F
Salt and sand beneath our feet.
C G
They came with their ways, tried to change our view,
Am F
But the ocean keeps reminding what is true.
C G
No border can break what’s inside,
Am F
We’re islanders, we’re tied by the tide.
---
**[Chorus]**
C G
🌊 We’re united by the blue,
Am F
Not divided by the sea,
C G
Our stories sail across the waves
Am F
In island harmony.
C G
They tried to change our color,
Am F
Our rhythm and our truth,
C G
But the blue still binds
Am F
Me and you… oh yeah,
C G F
Pacific strong and true.

**[Verse 2]**
C G
They built their walls, they changed our names,
Am F
Still we rise through the wind and flames.
C G
From Fiji, Samoa, Tonga too,
Am F
We keep our roots, our spirit true.
C G
We sing our songs, we dance our pride,
Am F
Our ancestors standing by our side.
C G
They can’t wash away what the sea renews,
Am F
The spirit of the islands shining through.

**[Chorus]**
C G
We’re united by the blue,
Am F
Not divided by the sea,
C G
Our stories sail across the waves
Am F
In island harmony.
C G
They tried to change our color,
Am F
Our rhythm and our truth,
C G
But the blue still binds
Am F
Me and you… oh yeah,
C G F
Pacific strong and true.

**[Bridge]**
Am G
Raise your flag, my brother, sister too,
F C
One people, one ocean view.
Am G
Let the drums of our islands play,
F G
And lift our voices all the way.
---
**[Outro]**
C G
Yeah, we’re still here,
Am F
Still proud, still free.
C G
The ocean that they said would part
