I've spent my life chasing the tide
Out where the sea and sky collide
The wind in my hair, salt in my veins
Daylight slips, but the ocean remains
I cast my nets, I mend my sails
Hear the gulls tell their lonesome tales
I've learned more from waves than from men
The sea takes you out, brings you back again
But every storm, every calm I've known
I face them all, but never alone
The sea is wild, but it speaks to me still
A gentle voice through the roar and the thrill
I left a love on the shore one day
Her eyes said "stay," but I sailed away
Promises lost in the wind's embrace
The ocean remembers, though time may erase
In the quiet of night, when the stars look down
I hear her voice in the waves' soft sound
A fisherman's heart, it's caught in the foam
Always adrift, yet always home
But every storm, every calm I've known
I face them all, but never alone
The sea is wild, but it speaks to me still
A gentle voice through the roar and the thrill
So if you ask me where I belong
It's somewhere between the sea and a song
I'll cast my nets, I'll ride the tide
Out where the ocean and freedom collide
