Straw Hat Heart

On the deck like (yeah)

Wind loud, heart louder

Map in my pocket

Dreams in the prow, sail proud

Red brim tilted

Smile too big for this small town dock

Backpack hanging by one loose thread

Whole crew built from a long-shot bet

I was that kid

Talking big ships at a desk too short

Teacher said "grow up"

I drew waves in the margins of the report

Now I’m starboard-steppin, swingin’ on ropes

Laughin’ at limits they wrote in their notes

"Stay in your lane"

I left, didn’t look, didn’t slow

I got that Straw Hat heart, I don’t back down

If I fall in the sea, I won’t drown

I stretch my faith like rubber to the clouds

Tell the whole Grand Line, hear me now

Straw Hat heart, ride that storm

Turn every bruise into new war paint worn

If they say "stop," I shout "set course"

Straw Hat heart, yeah, that’s my north

Busted ship, still

We dance on the cracks of the busted hull

Laugh so hard

You’d never think our pockets are this dull

Got a swordsman, eyes closed, half asleep

A cook who fights just to guard our feast

A thief who smiles while she steals the sky

A liar who stands tall when the cannonballs fly

Every scar?

That’s a stamp on a passport page

Every loss?

Just a lesson in a louder stage

They talk treasure

We talk tables with the plates all filled

They talk power

We talk promise that we swore to build

I got that Straw Hat heart, I don’t back down

If I fall in the sea, I won’t drown

I stretch my faith like rubber to the clouds

Tell the whole Grand Line, hear me now

Straw Hat heart, ride that storm

Turn every bruise into new war paint worn

If they say "stop," I shout "set course"

Straw Hat heart, yeah, that’s my north

From a tiny port

To a world too wide for a folded map

From a broken boat

To a name they whisper, afraid to laugh

So if you’re stuck on a dock at night

Eyes on the tide, fists clenched tight

Pack that hope like a secret chart

Step once forward, that’s your start

You got that Straw Hat heart, don’t back down

If you fall in the sea, you won’t drown

Stretch your faith like rubber to the clouds

Tell your whole dark past, hear me now

Straw Hat heart, ride that storm

Turn every bruise into new war paint worn

If they say "stop," you shout "set course"

Straw Hat heart, yeah, that’s your north (hey!)
