Anchor Holds the Sea Lyrics

There is an island
Trapped by a lonely shore
The storm will surrender
On the ocean floor

I know you're weary
Everything comes in waves
You feel like you're drowning
I will keep you safe

And I'll be there
Don't be scared
Sometimes the anchor holds the sea
You can count on me

Unpack your suitcase
Say that you'll stay and fight
Don't you remember
All the reasons why

And I'll be there
Don't be scared
Sometimes the anchor holds the sea
You can count on me

And I'll be there
Don't be scared
Sometimes the anchor holds the se
You can count on me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
