(soft waves light breeze distant rhythm)
Little hands drawing lines in the sand
Names erased by the tide not planned
They said we were made for a reason
But no one explains the season
Sunlight falls through a glassy sky
Golden lies in the lullaby
They laugh where the shoreline bends
Like we were never meant to end
You say it’s love it’s a gift it’s fate
But I feel something slipping away
I’m just a spare in the sunlight
Wearing salt on my skin
Piece by piece in the high tide
They take what I keep within
I’m just a name in the ocean
Drifting out of my frame
If I step out of the motion
Will they forget my name
Footprints fade where the children play
Two of us always kept away
They said we were closer to heaven
But something felt uneven
A boy asked me “Does it hurt”
Wind blew soft through his words
I said pain is the only sign
That something here is still mine
They call it truth they call it light
But I hear something breaking inside
I’m just a spare in the sunlight
Wearing salt on my skin
Piece by piece in the high tide
They take what I keep within
I’m just a wave in the motion
Never touching the shore
If I pull back the ocean
Will I be me once more
What if I don’t belong to the sea
What if this current isn’t me
What if I stop what if I stay
Would all their colors fade away
I’m not a spare in the sunlight
I’m more than what they define
No more pieces to give them
I’m taking back what is mine
I’m just a breath in the ocean
But I’m finally awake
If I break from the rhythm
I become what I make
(waves soft guitar fading light)
Salt in the air
But I’m still here
