Guardians of the Shore

[Verse 1]
Out on the waves where the storms collide,
A beacon shines, through the restless tide.
They don’t wear capes, but they save the day,
Quiet heroes, in the saltwater spray.
[Chorus]
Guardians of the shore, standing tall,
Answering every distress call.
Through the night, through the roar,
I salute you, keepers of the shore.
[Verse 2]
The ocean's a beast, it don’t play fair,
But they’re out there, they’re always there.
Pulling strangers from the water’s grip,
With steady hands and iron grit.
[Prechorus]
They don’t ask for glory,
Their deeds tell the story.
[Chorus]
Guardians of the shore, standing tall,
Answering every distress call.
Through the night, through the roar,
I salute you, keepers of the shore.
[Bridge]
From the lighthouse glow to the open seas,
In the darkest hours, they bring relief.
Underrated, overlooked, but they stand true,
Coast Guard, this one’s for you.
