It's all quiet now and beautiful.
These days have felt so long.
To wake, to work, to train,
the burn it's draining but we're strong.

Smothered in hope, a last wishful embrace, a smile to the coast and a kiss for a face.

Drawn by the waves and the scent of adventure, I cry,
and they wave above else we remember.
We cannot sail on promises that are empty frail and weak.
So belief is what we're gonna give.
We'll let our sailing speak
because it's not about where we are going, it's about the way we go.
A path we all have chosen, departing chained to hope
