Wave to Sunrise

[Intro – gentle steel drum melody, soft ocean wave ambience] Salt air tangs the morning breeze Waves rock the shore where we used to be [Verse 1 – light ukulele strums, subtle bongo rhythm] I was lost in the midnight tide Cold currents pulling me out of sight Your hand reached through the foggy dark Led me back to the safe, warm mark [Chorus – bright steel drum hook, layered vocal harmonies] We ride the motion, turn dark to dawn Love’s the compass where we belong Every wave carries us closer to light Sunrise paints the sky, makes the dark take flight [Verse 2 – playful marimba accents, steady shaker rhythm] Moonlight danced on the restless sea I was drowning in what I couldn’t see Your laugh cut through the stormy haze Lit a path through the endless days [Chorus – intensified steel drum, upbeat conga beats] We ride the motion, turn dark to dawn Love’s the compass where we belong Every wave carries us closer to light Sunrise paints the sky, makes the dark take flight [Interlude – tropical steel drum solo, soft wave ambience] (Instrumental Solo) [Bridge – stripped-back ukulele, intimate vocal delivery] The night can’t hold what we’ve found Your love turns every shadow around No more drifting, no more fear We’re anchored here, year after year [Chorus – full tropical arrangement, soaring harmonies] We ride the motion, turn dark to dawn Love’s the compass where we belong Every wave carries us closer to light Sunrise paints the sky, makes the dark take flight [Outro – fading steel drum, soft ocean waves] Salt air tangs the morning breeze We watch the sun rise over the seas
