The Tale as old as Time

Verse 1
A man set sail to tell the world  
A tale as old as time.  
When he got back around to home  
He brought with him a sign.  
Something to speak the words to all  
Without a single sound.  
A sight to behold, this holy king  
Who never wore a crown.  

Chorus
And oh, he walks the shoreline still,  
Through every heart, through every hill.  
A quiet truth the world can’t kill,  
A fire that won’t fade away.  
And oh, the ones who hear his name  
Feel something in their chest the same.  
A whisper carried through the flame—  
He lives until this very day.  

Verse 2
A man set out to speak the truth  
To show us all the way.  
When he got back around to home  
He carried so much weight.  
No one knows, but some will say  
He’s older than the clay—  
A man who walked the earth back then  
But breathes in us today.  

Chorus
And oh, he walks the shoreline still,  
Through every heart, through every hill.  
A quiet truth the world can’t kill,  
A fire that won’t fade away.  
And oh, the ones who hear his name  
Feel something in their chest the same.  
A whisper carried through the flame—  
He lives until this very day.  

Verse 3
A man set out to save the world  
With every soul he met.  
His words touched hearts and changed the minds  
Of men who dealt in debt.  
He freed the world from its own chains,  
If only we could change—  
But we keep reaching for the things  
That keep us all the same.  

Bridge
Maybe he’s the wind that moves us,  
Maybe he’s the spark that proves us.  
Maybe he’s the voice we drown  
When fear demands we bow down.  
Maybe he’s the light we chase  
When darkness tries to take his place.  
Maybe he’s the breath we take—  
The part of us we cannot break.  

Final Chorus
And oh, he walks the shoreline still,  
Through every heart, through every hill.  
A quiet truth the world can’t kill,  
A fire that won’t fade away.  
And oh, the ones who speak his name  
Feel something in their chest the same.  
A whisper carried through the flame—  
He lives until this very day.
