Across the Ocean

[Verse 1]
I left the shore at dawn
Salt on my hands, salt on my tongue
Your name stayed on my coat
Like a thread I could not unspun

I watched the foam turn gold
Watched the last line fade away
I kept one small bright stone
For the days you’d call my name

[Pre-Chorus]
And every mile said wait
Every wave said prove it
I was all raw nerve and faith
Still I moved through it

[Chorus]
I have crossed the ocean
(I have crossed the ocean)
I came back for you
I have crossed the ocean
(I have crossed the ocean)
Just to stand in truth

If you call me home
I’m already on my way
I have crossed the ocean
And I’m here to stay

[Verse 2]
New roads changed my shoes
New rain made my coat run dark
I learned the taste of loss
In a port with no marked stars

But I kept your face
Like a flame in a paper cup
Every storm that broke
Only taught me not to stop

[Pre-Chorus]
And every mile said wait
Every wave said prove it
I was all raw nerve and faith
Still I moved through it

[Chorus]
I have crossed the ocean
(I have crossed the ocean)
I came back for you
I have crossed the ocean
(I have crossed the ocean)
Just to stand in truth

If you call me home
I’m already on my way
I have crossed the ocean
And I’m here to stay

[Bridge]
Let the old tide pull
Let the long night bend
I would cross it all
For this one chance again

No more borrowed maps
No more looking back
I found your door in me
I’m never turning back

[Final Chorus]
I have crossed the ocean
(I have crossed the ocean)
Say my name, I’ll come through
I have crossed the ocean
(I have crossed the ocean)
Now the distance is through

If you call me home
I’m already on my way
I have crossed the ocean
And I’m here to stay

[I have crossed the ocean]
(I have crossed the ocean)
