Sunrise Over Saline

[Verse 1]
Remember mornings after, salt on every breeze,
The ocean left its markings, washing through the trees.
But the griot's voice carried, a whisper in the storm,
Promising a sunrise, keeping spirits warm.

[Chorus]
Oh, the tide is turning, feel it deep within,
The persistent light is breaking, where new days begin.
We rise with the morning, stronger than before,
Anchored in the spirit, reaching for the shore.

[Verse 2]
I recall the market bustling, vibrant, loud, and true,
A sanctuary found in every face I knew.
Even when the shadows stretched, long and stark and gray,
A shared meal's quiet comfort chased the ache away.

[Chorus]
Oh, the tide is turning, feel it deep within,
The persistent light is breaking, where new days begin.
We rise with the morning, stronger than before,
Anchored in the spirit, reaching for the shore.

[Bridge]
Through every tempest weathered, every pounding wave,
Ancestral wisdom guides us, from the paths they paved.
A verdant faith within us, blooming ever bright,
Chasing back the darkness with its steady, sacred light.

[Outro]
The horizon calls us, toward the open sea,
Boundless hope surrounds us, eternally.
