Title:
“Anchor in the Storm”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] I am a sailor, [D] lost at sea,
[C] You are the anchor, [G] a promise to keep.
[D] Amid the tempest, [Em] through the hail and sleet,
[C] I find my solace, [G] in your heartbeat.
(Chorus)
[G] You’re my anchor in the storm, [Em] my lighthouse on the shore,
[C] When all I see is darkness, [G] you’re the light that I implore.
[D] Through the roughest waves, [Em] and the thunder’s roar,
[C] You’re my anchor in the storm, [G] the love that I adore.
(Verse 2)
[G] Life’s a voyage, [D] with no known end,
[C] But with you, [G] every route I can comprehend.
[D] We navigate, [Em] past the bends and the breaks,
[C] With you as my anchor, [G] no storm can make me shake.
(Chorus)
[G] You’re my anchor in the storm, [Em] my lighthouse on the shore,
[C] When all I see is darkness, [G] you’re the light that I implore.
[D] Through the roughest waves, [Em] and the thunder’s roar,
[C] You’re my anchor in the storm, [G] the love that I adore. (x2)
