You rise before the morning sun
On waters far from where we are
Each day you face a moving world
With nothing but the moon and stars
The ocean holds your aching bones
While we sleep warm in beds you own
You ride the waves we never see
So we can live more peacefully
[Chorus]
If I never said it loud
If I never made you see
You’re the strength I lean upon
You’re the braver part of me
No one fills the space you hold
No one makes me feel this whole
If you were gone, I’d fall apart
So I thank you… with all my heart
[Verse 2]
You battle storms with quiet grace
And wipe the salt from tired eyes
You face the nights without my touch
And hide the tears you never cry
The sea may stretch our love so far
But distance can't erase your part
Sleepless nights and silent calls
Can’t undo what you’ve built in us all
[Chorus – repeat]
If I never said it loud
If I never made you see
You’re the strength I lean upon
You’re the braver part of me
No one fills the space you hold
No one makes me feel this whole
If you were gone, I’d fall apart
So I thank you… with all my heart
[Bridge]
You carry more than ropes and steel
You carry dreams we pray are real
Through every wave, through every fight
You’re the reason we sleep right at night
[Final Chorus]
So if I never said it clear
Let me say it now and here
You’re the anchor of my soul
You’re the love that makes me whole
And if tomorrow pulled us apart
Know you’ve lived deep in my heart
You’re the place I can’t replace
Forever yours—through time and space
