Sails on the Sea After Rain

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

The sea wind pushes the stars past the mast

At last the rain agrees to give the night back

I draw a long breath on the rocking bow

I hear heaven and earth stretch out their chests anew

[Pre-Chorus]

Those perilous roads did not carry my heart away

Instead they taught me how to draw closer to clarity

[Chorus]

Cross the long night and a clear sea comes into view

No need to let old storms decide the skies to come

I gather my ups and downs into stories to laugh over

Saving clarity for the real clouds before my eyes

Cross the long night and a clear sea comes into view

The journey so far is still worth loving wholeheartedly

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]

Moonlight needs no one to adorn it

Water and sky have always met with calm acceptance

I no longer tally every grievance from the past

I only take the openness of this stretch of the journey into my heart

[Pre-Chorus]

Those perilous roads did not carry my heart away

Instead they taught me how to draw closer to clarity

[Chorus]

Cross the long night and a clear sea comes into view

No need to let old storms decide the skies to come

I gather my ups and downs into stories to laugh over

Saving clarity for the real clouds before my eyes

Cross the long night and a clear sea comes into view

The journey so far is still worth loving wholeheartedly

[Bridge]

If fate should send new waves my way

I wish to sail on with the starlight I have seen

Some freedom lies beyond the applause on shore

But in the courage to lift one's head after wind and rain

[Final Chorus]

Cross the long night and a clear sea comes into view

No need to let old storms decide the skies to come

I gather my ups and downs into stories to laugh over

Saving clarity for the real clouds before my eyes

Cross the long night and a clear sea comes into view

The journey so far is still worth loving wholeheartedly

[Outro]

At dawn, I gently wave to the road I came by

Thanking it for bringing me to a more expansive horizon
