Title:
“Sailing Through Shadows”

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Wandering through life, [D] in the wake of dreams,
[Em] Pockets full of hope, [C] stitched with golden seams.
[G] Searching for the light, [D] in places unseen,
[Em] We are but sailors, [C] in an ocean, serene.

(Chorus)
[G] Sailing through shadows, [D] chasing the sun,
[Em] With every rising tide, [C] a new story spun.
[G] Bound by the rhythm, [D] our journey’s begun,
[Em] In this dance with destiny, [C] we’re second to none.

(Verse 2)
[G] With whispers of the wind, [D] guiding our way,
[Em] We journey through the night, [C] to meet the break of day.
[G] Stars our only map, [D] in this game of chance we play,
[Em] A symphony of dreams, [C] in a world of grey.

(Repeat Chorus)
