These strong southern

Winds batter the coast

It's bleak at this time of year

Debris and memories

Scatter the sand

As the waters drift and veer

The waves crash hard

Relentless and free

A wild and untamed song

They shape the shore

As they've shaped you and me

Through storms

We've weathered long

From battered shores

New hopes will rise

A promise waits

And the currents flow

The winds will turn

Beneath wide skies

And guide us

To what we've yet to know

We'll meet together

We'll scream at the sea

And find in the echoes

The strength to be free

The wind will carry

Our fears far away

Leaving us to welcome

The break of day

It's time to look forward

New starts and new beginnings

The tide washes clean

What's past is swept away

Time to reflect

Banish our misgivings

The horizon gleams

With a touch of gold

A promise of peace

In the morning's glow

The sea's vast story

Is waiting to be told

A future of hope

Where the waves will flow
