Sea and City Awake

[Intro] Crisp morning, the gulls are singing above the quay I stand by the shoreline, city lights fading to sea The white shirt catches sunlight, the black pants stay true Today is a beacon calling me to do what I’m meant to do [Verse 1] I walk the line between tide and street, breath steady and clear A quiet daring in my chest, I tell the doubt to disappear This city behind me hums like a chorus of bright possibilities I own my steps, I own my pace, I own these morning miles of liberty [Chorus] I’m alive, I’m awake, I’m stepping into the day With a fearless, gentle rhythm, I’m not afraid to lead the way The world is wide and patient, it waits for my intent I seize the sun with open hands, and I’m already halfway there [Verse 2] The waves applaud in soft applause, the horizon flares with gold I dress my courage in simple clothes, a story brave and bold If shadows linger, I tilt my chin and greet the light anew This moment is a promise kept to me, to keep becoming true [Chorus] I’m alive, I’m awake, I’m stepping into the day With a fearless, gentle rhythm, I’m not afraid to lead the way The world is wide and patient, it waits for my intent I seize the sun with open hands, and I’m already halfway there [Bridge] Let go of yesterday’s resting fears, they sink into the sand Today is a chapter open wide, the future in my hands [Chorus] I’m alive, I’m awake, I’m stepping into the day With a fearless, gentle rhythm, I’m not afraid to lead the way The world is wide and patient, it waits for my intent I seize the sun with open hands, and I’m already halfway there [Outro] So I stand by the sea, with the city behind me and light in my eyes A quiet, bold resolve—today I rise
