Not the Same Boat

[Acoustic guitar solo]

[Verse 1]

They say we’re all in the same boat, drifting through the tide,

But some have sails, some have holes, some just pray to survive.

Some steer with steady hands, some patch with fraying rope,

Some bail out water with their hands, some barely dare to hope.

[Chorus]

No, we’re not in the same boat, maybe floating side by side,

Some got lifeboats, some got anchors, some just fight the rising tide.

If we sink, we sink together, but until that moment comes,

Some will sail, some will struggle, some will drown while others run.

[Acoustic guitar solo]

[Verse 2]

One man’s storm is just a ripple, one man’s loss is just a tale,

One man fights to reach the shoreline, one man rides the wind and sails.

Some are tossed into the ocean, never taught to swim or fight,

Some have hands that reach to save them, some just vanish in the night.

[Chorus]

No, we’re not in the same boat, maybe floating side by side,

Some got lifeboats, some got anchors, some just fight the rising tide.

If we sink, we sink together, but until that moment comes,

Some will sail, some will struggle, some will drown while others run.

[Acoustic guitar solo]

[Bridge]

So when you say, "we’re all the same," take a moment, look again,

Are you bailing with a bucket, or just watching from the deck?

Some were given maps and compasses, some were left to drift alone,

And the waves don’t ask who’s stronger when they come to take you home.

[Outro – Soft, Reflective]

If we sink, we sink together, but let’s reach before they fall,

If your boat is strong and steady, don’t just watch—answer the call.

The Road, The Spiral, The Puzzle

[Verse 1]

There’s a road I’ve walked a thousand times,

Yet every step feels strange and new.

Like footprints fading in the sand,

Leaving shadows where I once stood true.

[Pre-Chorus]

And I chase the echoes down the bend,

A whisper, a question, a hand I extend.

But the voice that answers—soft, unsure—

Is mine, and mine alone to mend.

[Chorus]

I am the road, I am the spiral,

I am the puzzle left unsolved.

I bend, I break, I fall, I rise—

And still, my soul evolves.

Not a straight line, not a perfect rhyme,

Just a story being told,

I am the road, I am the spiral,

I am the puzzle I unfold.

[Verse 2]

The mirror shows a stranger’s face,

A piece that never seemed to fit.

But maybe all these scattered parts

Were never meant to be a script.

[Pre-Chorus]

So I trace the edges, rough and real,

Find the colors in what I feel.

No need to force the final shape,

Some truths are made, some truths reveal.

[Chorus]

I am the road, I am the spiral,

I am the puzzle left unsolved.

I bend, I break, I fall, I rise—

And still, my soul evolves.

Not a straight line, not a perfect rhyme,

Just a story being told,

I am the road, I am the spiral,

I am the puzzle I unfold.

[Bridge]

Not lost, not found—just somewhere in between,

A note still ringing, unheard but seen.

If I embrace the shifting tide,

Then maybe I was whole the whole damn time.

[Final Chorus – with gentle rise and fall]

I am the road, I am the spiral,

I am the puzzle left unsolved.

And maybe there’s no final answer,

Just the beauty of the fall.

Not a straight line, not a perfect rhyme,

Just a story being told,

I am the road, I am the spiral,

I am the puzzle I unfold.

[Outro – soft, lingering]

And I will walk, and I will wander,

Knowing now, I am enough.

Khoi Raahon Ka Safar

[Verse 1]

Kahin intezaar, intezaar,

Intezaar kar rahe honge,

Woh bhooli raahen un bhatke kadmon ka

Intezaar ab bhi kar rahe honge.

[Pre chorus]

Dilon mein ek aasha, aankhon mein ek sapna,

Woh guzra hua kal, laut kar phir aayega.

[Chorus]

Har mod pe hum tum, milte rahe yun hi,

Phir bhi raaste hain tanhaayi ke.

Saath rehna tha manzil tak, par soonaa hai safar,

In nirmohi lamhon mein, kho gaye hain hum kahin.

[Verse 2]

Shaam ka andhera, yaadon ka gehra,

Pal do pal ka intezaar hai bas.

Woh chalte rahe, bin manzil ke raahi,

Jaane kab tak yun hi bhatakte rahenge.

[Bridge] 

Rishta hai waqt se, khwahishon ka silsila,

Jaane kyun hum ab bhi uss pal mein hain zinda.

Aankhon se yeh aansoo chhupaaye rahe ab tak,

Magar dil ke kone mein, pyaar ki gehri kasak.

[Chorus]

Har mod pe hum tum, milte rahe yun hi,

Phir bhi raaste hain tanhaayi ke.

Saath rehna tha manzil tak, par soonaa hai safar,

In nirmohi lamhon mein, kho gaye hain hum kahin.

[Outro]

Kahin intezaar, intezaar,

Intezaar kar rahe honge,

Woh bhooli raahen un bhatke kadmon ka

Intezaar ab bhi kar rahe honge.

If I Had Said

[Verse 1]
I care, I cared, I always will,
But the words got lost, my hands stayed still.
I swore I’d say it, swore I’d try,
But silence held me, I don’t know why.

[Pre-Chorus]
And now the nights stretch cold and wide,
A name I whisper, but never cried.
If I had spoken, if you had known,
Would I be standing here alone?

[Chorus]
If I had said it, would you have stayed?
If I had shown it, would you have swayed?
Would I have held you, my pride, my prize,
Or lost you still, just in different skies?

[Verse 2]
Had I foreseen the road ahead,
Would I have dared the words unsaid?
Or would they falter, fall apart,
Before they ever reached your heart?

[Pre-Chorus]
And now the nights stretch cold and wide,
A name I whisper, but never cried.
If I had spoken, if you had known,
Would I be standing here alone?

[Chorus]
If I had said it, would you have stayed?
If I had shown it, would you have swayed?
Would I have held you, my pride, my prize,
Or lost you still, just in different skies?

[Bridge - soft, almost spoken]
Maybe one day, you'll turn and see,
The love I buried quietly.
Maybe the bird will catch my eye,
Or maybe it’s just another lie.

[Final Chorus - softer, fading away]
If I had said it, would you have stayed?
If I had shown it, would you have swayed?
Would I have held you, my pride, my prize,
Or lost you still, just in different skies?
