🎵 “The Sea Will Keep Me”
(Verse 1)
Cold stars above me
No more to run
The sea is calling
And time is done
I thought I’d see
Another day
But now I whisper
As I drift away
(Chorus)
The sea will keep me
Soft and deep
Cradle my sorrow
Rock me to sleep
Tell those I love
I sailed away
Not in fear
But in grace
(Verse 2)
Voices are fading
Lights go dim
But I remember
Her touch, his hymn
The laughter still
Inside my chest
The life I lived
I gave my best
(Chorus)
The sea will keep me
Soft and deep
Cradle my sorrow
Rock me to sleep
Tell those I love
I sailed away
Not in fear
But in grace
(Bridge – soft, haunting)
I see the dawn
Though it’s not mine
I feel the sun
Beyond the brine
(Final Chorus – fading into silence)
The sea will keep me
Let me go
One last breath
And then I’ll know
That love remains
Beyond the tide
And I…
I did not hide
(Outro – barely a whisper)
The sea…
will keep…
me.
