[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside that never shows its face,
A mind that maps the world and holds the whole damn place,
You speak in feelings first, in stories, in the deep,
You carry what you love like promises you keep,
They see the steady ground, they don't see what it cost,
The quiet ones who hold the most are never truly lost

[PreChorus]
You've been pouring out for everyone in reach,
Learning slow that you need what you teach

[Chorus]
Michele, the ocean knows your name,
You were written in the tide before you came,
Every wave that broke on you became your shore,
You are not too much — you're everything and more

[Verse 2]
You love like a question no one dared to ask,
You see through hollow answers, you see under the mask,
The balance that you hunger for at three a.m.,
It isn't weakness calling — it's your depth again,
You've built a life from service, from the careful and the true,
But somewhere in that giving, love, don't lose the thread of you

[PreChorus]
You've learned that worth is earned and hearts must prove their place,
But you were born already wrapped in grace

[Chorus]
Michele, the ocean knows your name,
You were written in the tide before you came,
Every wave that broke on you became your shore,
You are not too much — you're everything and more

[Verse 3]
There's a fire underneath the calm you wear so well,
A vision for the world that only you can tell,
You've wrestled with the gap between your dream and your day,
Between the life you're building and the price you had to pay,
But every scar became a compass, every wound a kind of map,
The world needs what you carry and you can't give that back

[PreChorus]
The stars arranged themselves around a purpose clear,
Everything you've lived was leading here

[Chorus]
Michele, the ocean knows your name,
You were written in the tide before you came,
Every wave that broke on you became your shore,
You are not too much — you're everything and more

[Bridge]
You don't have to prove a single thing tonight,
The moon has held your name in her silver light,
What you are becoming was the plan all along,
You were never broken — you were always strong

[Outro]
Rest now in the knowing you are held and true,
The cosmos built itself around someone like you,
Michele, the tide is turning, and it turns for you
