[Verse 1]
There's a stillness on the surface, like a lake before the rain,
But underneath the quiet runs a deep and ancient vein,
You've felt the weight of other people's sorrows like your own,
You've carried more than anyone could ever know you've known,
A mind that reads between the lines, that sees behind the face,
Born to find the truth in every corner, every space

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those currents running fathoms deep inside

[Chorus]
Renee, you are the ocean and the shore,
More whole than you believe, more light than you ignore,
Renee, every depth you've dived has made you wise,
The cosmos wrote you carefully beneath these southern skies

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient that was here before your name,
You give the grace to others that you rarely give yourself to claim,
You've built a home inside your heart through every trembling wall,
You learned to hold the broken pieces up before they'd fall,
There's a wound you carry quietly, tied to where you're from,
But what you built from that old ache is where your strength has come

[PreChorus]
You've dreamed your way through darkness, still you rise,
A blueprint made of vision underneath disguised

[Chorus]
Renee, you are the ocean and the shore,
More whole than you believe, more light than you ignore,
Renee, every depth you've dived has made you wise,
The cosmos wrote you carefully beneath these southern skies

[Verse 3]
You've stood between the hunger for the wild and the tame,
Between the call to break the mold and keep the sacred flame,
Your words land soft but heavy, like a stone through liquid glass,
You feel before you reason, and your intuitions last,
The world you're growing into asks you only to be real,
To trust the ground beneath your feet, to let yourself be healed

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the right to rest,
You've always been enough, you've always been the best

[Chorus]
Renee, you are the ocean and the shore,
More whole than you believe, more light than you ignore,
Renee, every depth you've dived has made you wise,
The cosmos wrote you carefully beneath these southern skies

[Bridge]
You were made from water and from fire and from night,
From the part that holds the darkness and the part that holds the light,
Every scar became a doorway, every loss became a key,
You are guided, you are rooted, you were always meant to be

[Outro]
So rest now in the knowing you are held,
Renee, the stars have always loved you well
