Song Title:
“Wave Of Love”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Am] By the crashing waves, [D] under the golden sun,
[Am] We played our strings, [D] our journey had begun.
[G] Strumming chords with salty fingers, [C] singing a melody,
[G] The rhythm of the sea, [C] was our harmony.
(Chorus)
[Em] Wave of love, [G] take us far,
[C] To every dream, [D] every shining star.
[Em] Wave of love, [G] in your tide,
[C] We find our rhythm, [D] we find our pride.
(Verse 2)
[Am] The ocean’s whisper, [D] a lullaby to our ears,
[Am] Her salty tears, [D] washing away our fears.
[G] With sandy feet and sun-kissed faces, [C] we strummed our tales,
[G] The music in the wind, [C] filling our sails.
(Chorus)
[Em] Wave of love, [G] in your embrace,
[C] We found our sound, [D] we found our space.
[Em] Wave of love, [G] our song’s refrain,
[C] In every low, [D] in every gain.
(Bridge)
[Am] In the rhythm of the waves, [G] In the melody of the sea,
[C] We found our music, [D] We found our glee.
(Chorus)
[Em] Wave of love, [G] take us far,
[C] To every dream, [D] every shining star.
[Em] Wave of love, [G] in your tide,
[C] We find our rhythm, [D] we find our pride.

“The music of Salty Decision is like the ocean – at times it’s calm and soothing, and at other times, it’s wild and refreshing. It has a rhythm that resonates with my soul. It’s more than just music; it’s therapy. Their songs, especially ‘Wave Of Love,’ remind me that life, like the ocean, has its high and low tides, but no matter what, we keep surfing.
