Tate's Tides Tale

**Title: "Reality of Light"** **Verse 1** In the quiet of the midnight hour, When the world forgets to breathe, Shadows dance like broken flowers, And the heart bends beneath. **Chorus** Oh, sadness is only a reality, Not the whole of who we are, A whisper in the symphony, A single fallen star. **Verse 2** But the dawn will crack the silence, With a light that’s soft and sheer, Every storm has its expiry, And the pain, it disappears. **Chorus** Oh, sadness is only a reality, Not the end of where we’ll go, A chapter in humanity, A scar that lets us grow. **Bridge** Hold on, the night’s a fleeting canvas, Where the brave reclaim their fire, From the ashes of our anguish, We soar—*higher, higher, higher*. **Instrumental Break** *(Melody swells, echoing hope)* **Outro** So let the tears carve rivers, But don’t drown in what they say, For sadness is a reality… And reality can *change*. **Final Chorus (Softened)** Oh, sadness is only a reality, But love’s the truest part, A heartbeat in the dark’s fragility— We’re stardust, meant to *spark*.

(Verse 1) Tall mountains touch the sky, stories whispered in the breeze Sun paints the temple gold, a monk chants peacefully Nature's peace, a calming sigh, where worries seem to cease (Chorus) Faraway tune, a gentle song, whispers of the past Flute sings secrets on the breeze, a timeless peace to last A hidden world, calm and slow, a place the soul can know (Verse 2) Pink flowers dance in spring, a fleeting, lovely sight Fish glide through still water, a graceful, silent flight Tea warms the soul within, a strength for day and night (Chorus) Faraway tune, a gentle song, whispers of the past Flute sings secrets on the breeze, a timeless peace to last A hidden world, calm and slow, a place the soul can know

[Verse] Ms Nutter rolls in with a heavy sway But her words fall flat like stale souffle Claims she’s the queen of every lane But strikes out swinging It’s pretty insane [Chorus] Roll her out like a bowling ball Crash and burn she’s got no thrall Pins are laughing standing tall Big talk small game that’s her call [Verse 2] She’s polished up but got no grip Takes the shot but her feet just slip Gutter-bound like a runaway train Sharp as a sphere dull as her reign [Chorus] Roll her out like a bowling ball Crash and burn she’s got no thrall Pins are laughing standing tall Big talk small game that’s her call [Bridge] Her strikes are dreams in the dark of night She throws shade but can’t hit it right A spare on her best days it's all the same The bowling alley of life ain't her game [Verse 3] Crying foul when the frame’s no good But the scoreboard don’t lie I think you should Take those tantrums and roll away Ms Nutter your act is passé

[Verse] في ليلنا وحكايانا سرّ الدفء الكامن أحلامنا تعلو معنا كطيف نور ساكن قلبي وقلبك يهتفان ما بين صمت وأغان يحكي النجوم لي حلمًا قديمًا بلسان [Verse 2] في عينيك عرفت سلامًا ضاع في صوت الرياح ضحكتك مثل الندى يسقي الحنين والجراح يا وهج روح لا يختفي أنت الصديق والحلم أنسج من أيامنا أغنية حبٍ وشم [Chorus] ليالي السهر تجمعنا على حلم ما قد كان تروي القمر عن عشقنا بينما يجري الزمان بين زرقة السماء وشغف القلب الدافئ نسطر في الغيم أغنيتنا بصوتٍ شفاف [Bridge] أوراق الحب تتساقط كرقصة خدود الزهر تجمعنا لحظات وتمضي كمعزوفة العمر وكأن الوقت معي توقف دون ندم أو خوف يا لصدى صوتك الحنون يجري بين الحرف [Verse 3] أسطورة نحن نحيا بين عتمة وضياء كأننا بين الأشواق قمر يعانق الماء نغني للحب حلمًا لا تسطره الروايات نحيا في دهشة النور وكل الصمت حياة [Outro] ليالي السهر تبقى معنا في كل دجى ومساء تكتب الأماني فوق الغيم بألف حرف ونداء نعود إلى نبض حب لا يشيخ مع السنين يا أنشودتي الخالدة يا حلم القلب الحزين

[Verse] Tate was cruisin' seas with gold in his hold Head high sails wide stories untold But the thunder cracked wild waves took their toll He stood at the helm like a man touched by soul [Chorus] Spin the wheel hold tight don’t let it go The storm’s got teeth and it’s stealing the show Grip your courage while the waters roar low Tate the sailor fighting fate's undertow [Verse 2] The cannons roared flames kissed the sky black Enemies loomed close no thought to turn back He laughed in their faces “You’ll not break my track” But danger grinned sharper and prepared its attack [Chorus] Spin the wheel hold tight don’t let it go The storm’s got teeth and it’s stealing the show Grip your courage while the waters roar low Tate the sailor fighting fate's undertow [Bridge] Deep in the chaos he whispered his vow “I won’t quit this journey not then and not now” The sea threw its demons but he didn't bow Through salt on his wounds he'd figure out how [Verse 3] With a flash came a gale that spun the ship round Deck cracking thunder the only sound But through all the wild out of loss was found Tate rose through the tempest his fury unbound

Title: Storm’s Gonna Pass (A Song for Queensland as Cyclone Alfred Approaches) Verse 1: Dark clouds are rolling, the wind starts to rise, Ocean waves roaring, fire in the skies. But we’ve seen the tempests, we’ve weathered the rain, Queensland stands strong, we’ll do it again. Pre-Chorus: Hold on tight, don’t lose your light, The storm will come, but we'll fight the night. Chorus: Storm’s gonna pass, winds gonna die, Sun’s gonna break through that heavy sky. We’ll stand together, no fear, no doubt, Queensland’s heart can’t be blown out. Verse 2: Sirens are wailing, the streets turn to sea, But hope is still burning in you and in me. Neighbors are knocking, hands reaching out, In times like these, love drowns the doubt. Pre-Chorus: Hold on tight, don’t lose your light, The storm will come, but we'll fight the night. Chorus: Storm’s gonna pass, winds gonna die, Sun’s gonna break through that heavy sky. We’ll stand together, no fear, no doubt, Queensland’s heart can’t be blown out. Bridge: Raindrops fall, but so do tears, Not of sorrow, but strength through years. We've seen the floods, we’ve felt the waves, And every time, we rise from the graves. Chorus (Final): Storm’s gonna pass, winds gonna die, Sun’s gonna break through that heavy sky. We’ll stand together, no fear, no doubt, Queensland’s heart can’t be blown out. Outro: So hold on tight, just close your eyes, When the winds are gone, we’ll see blue skies.

[Verse] Long roads turning dust in the wind Rusty swings where dreams begin Faded photos tucked away in time Echoes of youth when the stars aligned [Chorus] Sing it loud feel the fire inside Memories ride on the changing tide Years roll on but the heart won’t fade Echoes of yesterday we’ve made [Verse] Hands once rough now soft with age Life’s a book we've scribbled every page Knotted trails but we made it through Everything old still feels brand new [Chorus] Sing it loud feel the fire inside Memories ride on the changing tide Years roll on but the heart won’t fade Echoes of yesterday we’ve made [Bridge] Hear the whispers in the autumn breeze Every scar tells a story with ease Time keeps moving but the soul stays still Chasing shadows on the far-off hill [Verse] Campfire nights with the crackling sound Youthful laughter forever unbound Ashes rise yet the flame remains Carved in stone are the joys and pains

[Verse] Your smile's a whisper across the air Soft as the sun that strokes my hair Every glance ignites A flame so true My heart dances All because of you [Chorus] Ba-da boom Boom Your love's the beat A rhythm so strong It sweeps my feet In your arms My world aligns Together we move No space No time [Verse 2] Your voice is a song I can’t forget Melody sweet when our eyes have met Touch so electric It sparks my skin Love like a fire burning deep within [Chorus] Ba-da boom Boom Your love's the beat A rhythm so strong It sweeps my feet In your arms My world aligns Together we move No space No time [Bridge] Let the stars watch as we collide Two souls entwined Never divide Our laughter flows like a river wide Your love’s the ocean where I confide [Verse 3] Under the moonlight We sway so close A story unfolds that only we compose Your heartbeat sings Forever mine Our song of love defying time

[Verse] En el campo bajo el sol brillante Donde el viento susurra canciones elegantes Aprendemos a escuchar la voz del río En Decroly vivimos nuestro albedrío [Verse 2] Las estrellas nos cuentan historias lejanas El saber florece entre noches y mañanas Caminamos sobre prados de esperanza Buscando en la vida nuestra alianza [Chorus] Decroly oh tierra de sueños eternos Donde el alma encuentra sus senderos tiernos A través del tiempo y de la creación Aquí forjamos juntos nuestra razón [Verse 3] Con las manos moldeamos tierra y vida Bajo la sombra del árbol decrolyana Cada corazón es una chispa encendida Uniendo su fuego a la llama temprana [Bridge] En cada rincón hay magia escondida Susurrando secretos la tierra se guía Aprendemos del todo del ciclo y piedrecilla Decroly me enseña cada maravilla [Chorus] Decroly oh tierra de sueños eternos Donde el alma encuentra sus senderos tiernos A través del tiempo y de la creación Aquí forjamos juntos nuestra razón

Verse 1) In the corner of my mind, Shadows dance, secrets entwined. Covered ears, I shut them tight, But the whispers call me through the night. (Pre-Chorus) Memories flash, like lightning in a storm, A childhood laughter, where I felt warm. But every smile hides a faded tear, The darkness cries, oh can you hear? (Chorus) Shadows whisper, they know my name, Echoes of stories, I’m caught in the game. With shattered tears that fall like rain, I’m walking through the whispers of the pain. (Verse 2) I remember summers, running wild and free, Swing sets swaying, just my friends and me. But as the sun set, fears took their place, In the quiet nights, I’d hide my face. (Pre-Chorus) Pictures on the wall, they tell a tale, Of dreams once vivid, now grown pale. But every laugh masks a broken scream, The darkness weeps, it haunts my dreams. (Chorus) Shadows whisper, they know my name, Echoes of stories, I’m caught in the game. With shattered tears that fall like rain, I’m walking through the whispers of the pain. (Bridge) Oh, can you see me? I’m fighting this fight, Searching for solace in the dead of night. The past is a puzzle, pieces out of sight, But I’ll keep on dancing, till I find the light. (Chorus) Shadows whisper, they know my name, Echoes of stories, I’m caught in the game. With shattered tears that fall like rain, I’m walking through the whispers of the pain. (Outro) So I’ll raise my head, though the night feels long, In the shadows' whisper, I’ll find my song. With every tear, a chance to heal, Through the darkness, I’ll learn to feel.
