“Riding the Storm”

Full Song Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
C G Am
Once I was a rover,
Em F C
Lost in the shadows of time,
G Am Em
Seeking for a beacon
F C G
In the darkness of my mind.

[Chorus]
Am Em F C
Riding the storm, finding my way,
G Am F C
Through the night, into the day.

[Verse 2]
C G Am
Now, I’m a warrior,
Em F C
Facing the echoes of yore,
G Am Em
Chasing distant horizons,
F C G
Seeking what’s in the core.

[Chorus]
Am Em F C
Riding the storm, finding my path,
G Am F C
Breaking the silence, fearing no wrath.
