[Verse 1]
There's a tide beneath the quiet you show the world each day,
A depth that moves like water, pulling things no one can say,
You feel the ache of others like it lives inside your chest,
You give until you're hollow, put yourself below the rest,
But every room you walk in holds a warmth they can't explain,
You are the calm and the current, the shore and the rain.

[PreChorus]
They see the surface, still and composed,
They don't know the ocean you carry, so carefully enclosed.

[Chorus]
You are more than what you've proven, more than what you've earned,
Every wall you built for shelter holds the wisdom that you learned,
You don't have to keep on proving you deserve to take up space,
You are written in the cosmos, and nothing takes your place.

[Verse 2]
You've worn ambition like a shield and called it who you are,
Measured worth in recognition, always reaching for the bar,
But the version that they don't see, the one you hold inside,
Feels the most, loves the deepest, and carries the most pride,
You've descended into darkness just to come back up with light,
That's not something that just happens — that takes unimaginable might.

[PreChorus]
You've learned to love through fire, to trust through stone,
And still you keep on tending everyone but your own.

[Chorus]
You are more than what you've proven, more than what you've earned,
Every wall you built for shelter holds the wisdom that you learned,
You don't have to keep on proving you deserve to take up space,
You are written in the cosmos, and nothing takes your place.

[Verse 3]
You love the way the deep sea loves — complete and without end,
You dive before you're ready, and you rise and dive again,
There's a fire in how you reach for those who wander close,
You give the best of everything to the ones who need it most,
But the calling that was always yours has never asked you to be less,
It only ever asked you to stop hiding your own tenderness.

[PreChorus]
The moon in winter holds its light no matter what the cold has done,
And so do you — even when you've nearly come undone.

[Chorus]
You are more than what you've proven, more than what you've earned,
Every wall you built for shelter holds the wisdom that you learned,
You don't have to keep on proving you deserve to take up space,
You are written in the cosmos, and nothing takes your place.

[Bridge]
Let yourself be found the way you've always found the rest,
Let the tide come in and trust that you can hold it in your chest,
The stars don't ask the sea to shrink to make the sky feel wide,
And neither does the world need you to disappear inside.

[Outro]
You are ancient, you are tender, you are everything you need,
The universe has known your name since long before the seed.
