By The Pier

Verse 1

Sitting by the pier, feet danglin’ in the tide

Sun’s painting stories on the water as it glides

Got nowhere to be, got nothing left to prove

Just a quiet kind of rhythm in the way the breeze moves

Seagulls singin’ like they know a secret song

And for once in my life, I ain’t trying to rush along

Every wave that rolls feels like it’s talkin’ to me

Sayin’, “Slow it down… this is where you’re meant to be”

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been chasing days, running hard and fast

Now I’m learning how to let a moment last

Chorus

Just watching the clouds go by

Letting go of all the why’s

Every worry drifting out to sea

Finding peace washing over me

With the sky stretched wide and blue

Feels like grace is breaking through

Right here where my heart can breathe

Sitting still… by the pier with me

Verse 2

There’s a softness in the silence I can finally hear

Like a whisper from heaven saying, “I’m right here”

All the noise fades out, all the pressure falls away

And I’m seeing things clearer in the light of this day

Every cloud that moves is a reminder to trust

That nothing really stays, but love… it always does

And if time keeps ticking, well I’m good with that

‘Cause I’m living in the now, not the what-if past

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been holding on too tight for so long

Now I’m learning how to just belong

Chorus

Just watching the clouds go by

Letting go of all the why’s

Every worry drifting out to sea

Finding peace washing over me

With the sky stretched wide and blue

Feels like grace is breaking through

Right here where my heart can breathe

Sitting still… by the pier with me

Bridge

Maybe life ain’t meant to be figured out

Maybe it’s the quiet that clears the doubt

In the space between the waves and sky

That’s where I remember who am I

No striving, no fear, no race to run

Just me and the setting sun

Breakdown (soft, reflective)

If tomorrow comes… I’ll meet it then

But right now I’m just here again

Final Chorus (lifted, peaceful)

Watching the clouds go by

With a calm I can’t deny

Every heartbeat slow and free

Like the tide’s inside of me

With the sky stretched wide and true

I can feel my soul renew

Right here where my heart believes

There’s a little bit of heaven… by the pier with me

Outro

Yeah, the world can wait… I’ve got all I need

Just a quiet heart… and a gentle breeze
