🎙️ “Hands of Salt and Time” — Studio Lyric Sheet (Duet Version)

---

Verse 1 — MALE
Born with the sunrise, boots on the deck  
Weather’s lookin’ mean but he shows no regret  
Lines in the water, heart on the line  
Livin’ off the ocean takes a different kind  
But folks back home don’t see the fight  
Storms roll in and steal the night  
He brings back the catch that keeps ’em fed  
But no one thanks the man who bled

---

Chorus — MALE LEAD, FEMALE HARMONY
Oh, the fisherman’s life ain’t an easy one  
Workin’ ’til the daylight’s good and gone  
Hands full of salt, back worn with pride  
Still he stands strong ’gainst the rollin’ tide  
But the world moves on, and it cuts him deep  
Nobody remembers what he gave to the sea

---

Verse 2 — FEMALE
Old boys once eager, young learned the trade  
Dreamin’ of the boats and the life that it made  
Sons watched their fathers with fire inside  
Ready to follow where the gulls would glide  
But now the young turn away from the shore  
Sayin’ “why work hard when there’s easier chores?”  
Screens glow brighter than the mornin’ sun  
And the will to learn has come undone

---

Chorus — FEMALE LEAD, MALE HARMONY
Oh, the fisherman’s life ain’t an easy one  
Workin’ ’til the daylight’s good and gone  
Hands full of salt, back worn with pride  
Still he stands strong ’gainst the rollin’ tide  
But the world moves on, and it cuts him deep  
Nobody remembers what he gave to the sea

---

Bridge — BOTH (Call & Answer or Unison)
Maybe one day they’ll hear that call  
Of waves that rise and stories that fall  
Maybe they’ll see what their fathers gave  
A lifetime spent dancin’ with the waves

---

Final Chorus — FULL DUET (Stacked Harmonies)
Oh, the fisherman’s life deserves its due  
For all the storms he’s carried through  
Hands full of salt, back worn with pride  
Still he stands strong ’gainst the rollin’ tide  
And though the world forgets his name  
The sea remembers — it stays the same
