Lyrics
Intro, distant waves, soft pads, female vocal airy, slow build
I'll draw a map of the world,
Of lands unknown and untold.
I'll guide my ship toward the dawn,
Through the raging waters.
Verse I, light plucks and bass pulse, female lead steady
The stars are pointing my way,
From corners far away.
Yet somehow drifting astray,
How did I lose my way?
Build Up, rising synths, male sailor chants quietly
Hold the line, don't lose control,
Storms may rage but guide your soul.
Through the night, through the foam,
Sail on, sail on home.
Chorus / Drop I, progressive house drop, female lead + sailor choir
I'm barely afloat,
But my sails are set — I'm coming home.
I'm barely afloat,
But my sails are set — I'm coming home.
Brave and strong, the words they told,
Find the light when seas turn cold.
Through the storm I roam,
My sails are set — I'm coming home.
Verse II, bass groove returns, rhythmic vocal delivery
I'll sail my ship on my own,
Into the eye of the storm.
And when the battle is won,
Will you still stand by me?
Build Up II, drums rising, choir chants louder
Raise the sails, hear the call,
Ride the waves, risk it all.
Through the dark we roam,
Guide the ship back home.
Chorus / Drop II, bigger festival drop, choir stomps and chants
I'm barely afloat,
But my sails are set — I'm coming home.
I'm barely afloat,
But my sails are set — I'm coming home.
Brave and strong, through fire and foam,
No more lost, no more alone.
Hear the ocean roar,
My sails are set — I'm coming home.
Bridge, atmospheric break, waves and soft piano, spoken-like vocal
Caught in the whirlwind, a perfect storm,
No sight of land but the will is warm.
Positions unknown, the compass spins,
But I command — we sail again.
Final Build, rising synths, drums rolling, sailor chants
Full speed ahead, no fear, no dread,
Raise the sails and forge the red.
Through the storm we roam,
Through the storm we roam.
Final Chorus / Drop, explosive progressive house lead, choir shouting
I'm barely afloat,
But my sails are set — I'm coming home.
I'm barely afloat,
But my sails are set — I'm coming home.
Brave and strong, through storm and foam,
Every wave will guide me home.
Hear the sailors roar,
My sails are set — I'm coming home.
Outro, fading pads, distant choir, ocean waves
My sails are set…
I'm coming home.
