Ship That We've Been Waiting For (버전 2)

Verse

Dust on the hull where the anchors used to sit

Paper maps with your name folded inside them

Some folks say that war don't change a thing but I disagree

Every scar we carry tells a different story than what it was meant to be

I was eighteen when they called us out

Fourteen years old and still learning how to doubt

Now the radio's the only friend I have left

Static on the waves is where the silence settles in and never clears again

Pre-Chorus

So how do you navigate when there's nothing charted here?

Who gets to draw the line between safe harbor and fear?

We've got a map but every route we choose tonight leads somewhere different, somehow always further out of sight

Chorus

Sail the ship that we've been waiting for

Through stormy skies we're finally free from shore

Every star up here I never knew existed before is now our beacon, our guiding light

The fire in our hearts was never just to survive it's to make sure nobody else dies like me

So hold your hand up if the dark gets loud and turn your eyes toward the horizon, no matter how far it's moved

Verse 2

Some nights we run on nothing but a prayer that there's dry land beyond the next wave

Other times it's just the hum of the engine keeping us from turning back into what we used to be a while ago

The war gave me a voice I never knew how to find my own before this mess started to mend

It taught me how to love with no more apologies, only forgiveness for every moment that was never meant to be lived without it all in black and white

I miss the quiet summers by the lake but I wouldn't trade these scars for peace of mind

We've got a map but sometimes the best thing we can do is follow where we don't know yet because the unknown's the only place left where love still grows

Pre-Chorus

So how do you navigate when there's nothing charted here?

Who gets to draw the line between safe harbor and fear?

We've got a map but every route we choose tonight leads somewhere different, somehow always further out of sight

Chorus

Sail the ship that we've been waiting for

Through stormy skies we're finally free from shore

Every star up here I never knew existed before is now our beacon, our guiding light

The fire in our hearts was never just to survive it's to make sure nobody else dies like me

So hold your hand up if the dark gets loud and turn your eyes toward the horizon, no matter how far it's moved

Bridge

Maybe freedom wasn't something waiting back home

It's the ocean underneath my feet when I don't know how to swim

Every storm that breaks us is a door we never knew was mine to open

The fire still burns from the old maps and it burns for one more thing — for a future none of them could see

Chorus

Sail the ship that we've been waiting for

Through stormy skies we're finally free from shore

Every star up here I never knew existed before is now our beacon, our guiding light

The fire in our hearts was never just to survive it's to make sure nobody else dies like me
