[Verse 1]
Under the glare of the surface
Everybody splashing for a view
All of these smiles feel painted
Still I keep drifting toward you
Tiny lights on the seabed
Little homes in a hidden blue
Careful as you reach out
This place is holding you
[Chorus]
This is our reef of connection
Fragile and bright in the deep
Every small kindness
Every confession
Builds us a kingdom we keep
Step gently into my orbit
Don’t rush
Don’t tear it apart
This reef of connection we’re guarding
Piece by piece
Heart by heart (oh)
[Verse 2]
Hands that are building in silence
Soft as the sand
But they stay
Color on color
We’re growing
Under the pull of the waves
One wrong move and it shatters
All that we wanted to share
So I move slower toward you
Like every word is a prayer
[Chorus]
This is our reef of connection
Fragile and bright in the deep
Every small kindness
Every confession
Builds us a kingdom we keep
Step gently into my orbit
Don’t rush
Don’t tear it apart
This reef of connection we’re guarding
Piece by piece
Heart by heart
[Bridge]
Will you still reach for me
If it takes a thousand tides?
Can we protect this place
From the weight we hold inside? (hey)
If we tread soft tonight
We might wake the colors sleeping
See them breathing
Slowly breathing
[Chorus]
This is our reef of connection
Fragile and bright in the deep
Every small kindness
Every confession
Builds us a kingdom we keep
Step gently into my orbit
Don’t rush
Don’t tear it apart
This reef of connection we’re guarding
Piece by piece
Heart by heart
