We wanted to write a song that all of our listeners could take to heart, because even though we face challenging times in our lives, there are always people supporting us, wanting us to succeed.

lyrics

Let's chart the course ahead
Take on the seas with no regrets
I swear this time we'll make it
I swear this time we'll make it

We'll fight the rising tide
Make sure nobody's left behind
I swear this time we'll make it
I swear this time we'll make it

Nothing's impossible when we have each other
I'll stand with you here and we'll conquer this ocean
No matter the tempest, no matter the tide
I'll always be here by your side

These constant waves are endless
But we keep pushing on and on
No matter what the pressures
We'll keep pressing through the storm

This is what we stand for
“we stand here for our friends”
This is what we stand for
“we stand here” for our-

Nothing's impossible when we have each other
I'll stand with you here and we'll conquer this ocean
No matter the tempest, no matter the tide
I'll always be here by your side

Nothing's impossible when we have each other
I'll stand with you here and we'll conquer this ocean
No matter the tempest, no matter the tide
I'll always be here by your side

Let's stop the ship, let's dock ashore
Let's plot a new course
Forget the past, lay down the maps
And start all over

Just don't believe a thing they say
Their words will lead you astray
This is our chance to sink or swim
Let's take their breath away

Nothing's impossible when we have each other
I'll stand with you here and we'll conquer this ocean
No matter the tempest, no matter the tide
I'll always be here by your side

And when the day breaks we’ll see the horizon
The storm will calm down and the seas will be quiet
We fought for the tempest, we fought for the tide
We’ll always be there by your side
