🎵 “The Child of the Sea” — A Western Classical Art Song

Prelude (Adagio — strings and oboe):

The sea awakens, deep and endless —

a mirror of heaven, a cradle of storm.

Verse 1 (Andante):

Beneath the silver crown of waves,

A voice was born, a heart was brave.

No mortal blood, no god entire,

But forged of foam and lightning’s fire.

The fates entwine their threads unseen,

A child adrift where worlds convene.

Between Olympus and mortal shore,

He stands, defiant, evermore.

Chorus (Maestoso — with choir):

O child of the sea, the ocean’s son,

Bearer of sorrow, yet never undone.

Through thunder’s rage and tempest’s cry,

You rise, you fall, yet never die.
