Verse 1
Sunrise painting gold across the sea
Cool breeze whispering, “Slow down and breathe”
No rushing clocks, no endless race
Just salty air and amazing grace
Barefoot footprints in the morning sand
Nothing but today held in my hand
The tide rolls in, the worries roll out
That's what living free is all about
Pre-Chorus
I spent too many years chasing tomorrow
Carrying burdens, carrying sorrow
Now I'm learning what the ocean knew all along
Life gets sweeter when you sing your song
Chorus
I'm leaning into the simplicity of island life
Trading all my worry for a little sunshine
Letting every wave wash the pressure away
Finding joy in the beauty of an ordinary day
With a grateful heart and an easy smile
I'm gonna stay here for a little while
Where the rhythm is slow and the spirit runs free
Island life is bringing me back to me
Verse 2
A hammock sways beneath a coconut tree
A friendly face says, "Come sit with me"
No fancy plans, no place to be
Just good conversation and community
A reggae beat floating through the air
Laughter and love everywhere
The richest people that I've ever known
Are the ones who make every heart feel at home
Pre-Chorus
The world says faster, the islands say wait
The world says hustle, the islands say faith
Sometimes the treasure we're looking for
Is waiting right outside our door
Chorus
I'm leaning into the simplicity of island life
Trading all my worry for a little sunshine
Letting every wave wash the pressure away
Finding joy in the beauty of an ordinary day
With a grateful heart and an easy smile
I'm gonna stay here for a little while
Where the rhythm is slow and the spirit runs free
Island life is bringing me back to me
Bridge
One more sunset, one more song
One more reminder where I belong
Not in the chaos, not in the noise
But in the simple gift of making a choice
To love a little deeper, laugh a little more
To treasure what I've already got in store
The best things in life don't cost a dime
Just a peaceful heart and a little island time
Final Chorus
I'm leaning into the simplicity of island life
Feeling God's blessings in the morning light
Every wave a lesson, every breeze a prayer
A reminder that His goodness is everywhere
With a thankful soul and my eyes set free
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Where the rhythm is slow and the spirit runs free
Island life is bringing me back to me
Outro
Oh-oh-oh... let the trade winds blow
Oh-oh-oh... got nowhere else to go
Just me, this moment, the sea, and the sky
Leaning into island life... and feeling alive.
