[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the quiet you wear,
Tides that pull at midnight when no one's there,
You feel the whole room before you walk in,
You carry what others don't know how to begin,
They see the stillness, they don't see the weight,
The depth inside you that the surface can't translate,

[PreChorus]
But everything you hold was never meant to drown you,
The water made you stronger than the world around you,

[Chorus]
Shawn, you were written in the tides and the dark,
A quiet fire burning at the center of your heart,
You don't have to explain the mystery you keep,
You were born to go deeper, you were born to go deep,

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like lightning wrapped in a dream,
Half vision, half logic, and the space in between,
You speak when it matters, your words carry weight,
A boldness inside you that refuses to wait,
You've chased the horizon inside your own head,
Turning questions to lanterns, lighting something ahead,

[PreChorus]
And every restless thought that ever left you uncertain,
Was pulling back the edge of an extraordinary curtain,

[Chorus]
Shawn, you were written in the tides and the dark,
A quiet fire burning at the center of your heart,
You don't have to explain the mystery you keep,
You were born to go deeper, you were born to go deep,

[Verse 3]
You've felt like your value was something to prove,
Like worth was a measure tied to what you could do,
You gave before they asked and loved past the door,
Held people together while you stood on the shore,
But the wound that you carry was never a flaw,
It's the reason you see what so many won't saw,

[PreChorus]
You're not too much, you're not too deep, you're not too wide,
You are exactly everything that lives on the inside,

[Chorus]
Shawn, you were written in the tides and the dark,
A quiet fire burning at the center of your heart,
You don't have to explain the mystery you keep,
You were born to go deeper, you were born to go deep,

[Bridge]
The universe did not make you by mistake,
Every layer of you something the world needs to take,
You are already home in the skin that you're in,
Let the tide carry you now, let the tide carry you in,

[Outro]
The stars held you carefully, they knew what they made,
A soul this extraordinary was never afraid,
You are enough, you have always been enough,
The cosmos wrote you gently, and the cosmos wrote you loved,
