Verse 1
Push off the dock, let the shoreline fade,
Morning light on the water laid,
Engine hum like a gentle hymn,
Peace rolls in from the horizon’s rim.
Cool breeze brushing across my face,
Worries drift without a trace,
Out here it’s simple, clear, and real,
Just me, the wind, and a casting reel.
Pre-Chorus
No noise, no rush, no race to run,
Just sky, just water, just rising sun.
Chorus
I’m happiest here on C’est La Vie,
Feeling that wind set my spirit free,
Line in the water, heart set to heal,
Casting my hopes with a spinning reel.
Waiting on that tug that makes me grin,
That fight, that pull, that reel it in,
Out on the water my soul can be,
Right at home on C’est La Vie.
Verse 2
Ripples dancing in shades of blue,
Every cast feels fresh and new,
Time slows down to a peaceful crawl,
I don’t feel the weight of life at all.
Birds overhead and sun on my skin,
Grateful for where I’ve always been,
This quiet joy no words can steal,
Just faith, fresh air, and a turning reel.
Pre-Chorus
No past to chase, no fear to feel,
Just patience, peace, and a turning reel.
Chorus
I’m happiest here on C’est La Vie,
Feeling that wind set my spirit free,
Line in the water, heart set to heal,
Casting my hopes with a spinning reel.
Waiting on that tug that makes me grin,
That fight, that pull, that reel it in,
Out on the water my soul can be,
Right at home on C’est La Vie.
Bridge
Every splash is a whisper from above,
Reminding me of grace and love,
Out here I remember who I am,
Not by the world, but by His hand.
Final Chorus
I’m happiest here where the wild winds blow,
Where the deep waters quietly flow,
Casting hope with every throw,
Watching life in slow-mo.
That bend in the rod, that thrilling feel,
Joy rising up with every reel,
Out on the water my heart can be,
Forever home on C’est La Vie.
