Straits of Freedom

Lyrics

Sun comes up on the Persian Gulf, Ships are waiting in the morning light, Long dark days and restless nights, Everybody’s watching for a green light. Engines turning, anchors rise, A little hope on the horizon line, From the ports to the open sea, Let those waters run free. [Chorus] Open the Strait, open the Strait, Let the ships roll through again, Open the Strait, open the Strait, Let the journey begin. From the Gulf to the ocean blue, Let the world move safely through, Open the Strait, open the Strait, Let tomorrow find its way. [Verse 2] Tankers waiting by the shore, Crews have been counting every hour, Families watching prices climb, Hoping for a better time. No more waiting on the tide, No more shadows on the shipping lines, When the channels open wide, Hope can cross with every tide. [Chorus] Open the Strait, open the Strait, Let the ships roll through again, Open the Strait, open the Strait, Let the journey begin. From the Gulf to the ocean blue, Let the world move safely through, Open the Strait, open the Strait, Let tomorrow find its way. [Bridge] One sea, one world, One horizon in the morning sun, Let the engines turn, Let the waiting finally be done. Peace on the water, Lights shining through the night, Step by step and mile by mile, We’re moving toward the light. [Final Chorus — BIG] OPEN THE STRAIT! OPEN THE STRAIT! LET THE SHIPS ROLL THROUGH AGAIN! OPEN THE STRAIT! OPEN THE STRAIT! LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN! FROM THE GULF TO THE OCEAN BLUE, LET THE WORLD MOVE SAFELY THROUGH! OPEN THE STRAIT! OPEN THE STRAIT! LET TOMORROW FIND ITS WAY! [Outro — repeat, bigger each time] Open the Strait… Open the Strait… Let the ships roll through again… Open the Strait! OPEN THE STRAIT!
