Verse 1
They tell me life is safer
When every road is known,
To build my walls around me
And call this place my home.
But somewhere past the silence,
Beyond the fading light,
I hear a distant calling
That keeps me awake at night.
The water keeps on moving,
It never asks me why,
It carries fallen wishes
Beneath an open sky.
And maybe I was never meant
To stay where I began,
Maybe there’s another life
Beyond the one they planned.
Pre-Chorus
I feel the wind upon my skin,
Like something new is drawing near.
I don’t know where the current ends,
But I know I can’t remain here.
Chorus
What waits beyond the turning tide?
A world I’ve never seen?
A thousand roads beneath the stars,
A place where I can breathe?
Should I hold on to safer shores
And silence every dream?
Or trust the voice inside my heart
That says there’s more for me?
I may not know where this will lead,
Or what the waves may hide…
But something beautiful is waiting
Beyond the turning tide.
Verse 2
I’ve spent so long believing
That dreams must learn to wait,
That growing older means we choose
The comfort of our fate.
But every door I never opened,
Every chance I let go by,
Still echoes like a question
In the corners of my mind.
What if the life I’m searching for
Is closer than it seems?
What if fear is just the bridge
Between my heart and dreams?
I’d rather chase the unknown
And fall beneath the rain
Than wake one day and wonder
Who I might have been.
Pre-Chorus
The horizon keeps on calling me,
Like it has always known my name.
And even if the world turns wild,
I know I’ll never be the same.
Chorus
What waits beyond the turning tide?
A world I’ve never seen?
A thousand roads beneath the stars,
A place where I can breathe?
Should I hold on to safer shores
And silence every dream?
Or trust the voice inside my heart
That says there’s more for me?
I may not know where this will lead,
Or what the waves may hide…
But something beautiful is waiting
Beyond the turning tide.
Bridge
Maybe courage isn’t knowing
Where the river meets the sea.
Maybe courage is believing
There is somewhere I should be.
So let the current carry
Every fear I leave behind.
I won’t spend another lifetime
Living someone else’s life.
No map could ever show me
What my heart already knows:
Some dreams are not discovered
Until we choose to let go.
Final Chorus
I’ll sail beyond the turning tide
Toward worlds I’ve never seen,
Through every storm beneath the stars,
To find where I can breathe.
I won’t remain on safer shores
And bury every dream.
I’ll trust the fire inside my heart—
There must be more for me.
And though I don’t know where this leads
Or what waits on the other side,
I know something beautiful is calling
Beyond the turning tide.
Outro
So carry me, wild water,
Past every fear I’ve known…
Maybe what I’ve searched for
Has been calling me home.
Beyond the turning tide…
Beyond the life I knew…
Somewhere past the horizon,
I’ll finally become who I was meant to be.
