Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Through the darkness of the night
They set sail with hope in sight
Across the vast and rolling sea
Each one dreaming to be free
(Pre-Chorus)
With every wave that crashes loud
They brave the journey, head unbowed
Leaving behind all they have known
Seeking refuge, not alone
(Chorus)
Boat by boat, they sail the tide
On a journey they cannot hide
Towards Lampedusa's distant shore
Where hearts ache and dreams restore
(Verse 2)
On crowded decks, under starry skies
They whisper prayers, tears in their eyes
For loved ones lost along the way
And for the dawn of a brighter day
(Pre-Chorus)
With every mile that slips behind
They hold on tight, to hope they bind
Their voices rise against the wind
Their stories written on the wind
(Chorus)
Boat by boat, they sail the tide
On a journey they cannot hide
Towards Lampedusa's distant shore
Where hearts ache and dreams restore
(Bridge)
Oh, Lampedusa, hear their call
As they approach, tired and small
May your shores offer solace deep
To those who brave the restless deep
(Bridge)
Oh, Lampedusa, hear their call
As they approach, tired and small
May your shores offer solace deep
To those who brave the restless deep
(Verse 3)
As they reach your hallowed ground
A beacon of hope they have found
In Lampedusa's embrace they find
A glimpse of peace for hearts maligned
(Pre-Chorus)
With every step on solid land
They feel the touch of guiding hand
Their journey's end, yet still they know
There's a long road ahead, but they'll grow
(Chorus)
Boat by boat, they've crossed the tide
On a journey they could not hide
To Lampedusa's welcoming shore
Where hearts heal and dreams restore
(Outro)
Boat by boat, they made their way
Towards the light of a brand new day
In Lampedusa, a new hope dawns
For each weary soul, a new song.
