[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the calm you show the room,
A dreamer mapping constellations in the afternoon,
You feel before you think, you love before you speak,
And you've been carrying tides that no one else can see,
The world reads you as still, but still was never the whole truth,
There's a current running fathoms deep in you

[PreChorus]
They see the surface and they call it grace,
But grace is just the name they give to depth they can't embrace

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are tender, you are vast,
Written carefully in light that's built to last,
Every wave that ever broke you made you more,
You were born to hold the ocean and the shore

[Verse 2]
You think in poetry when everyone else thinks plain,
You find the meaning hiding in between the mundane,
Your mind moves wide and strange, a frequency apart,
But the words you never say aloud live closest to your heart,
You've held the weight of everyone who needed holding near,
And wondered in the quiet who would do that work for you, my dear

[PreChorus]
The ones you love don't always see how much you give before they ask,
But your whole heart is the gift, not just the things you've done as task

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are tender, you are vast,
Written carefully in light that's built to last,
Every wave that ever broke you made you more,
You were born to hold the ocean and the shore

[Verse 3]
There's a fire underneath the water, soft but true,
Something revolutionary quietly blooming through,
You've questioned your own worth in all the small familiar ways,
But worth was never something you were meant to have to prove or chase,
The world needs what you carry in the spaces between your words,
The beauty that you breathe into the things that go unheard

[PreChorus]
The stage is waiting, not for perfect, just for you to finally appear,
Everything you are right now is everything the world needs here

[Chorus]
You are ancient, you are tender, you are vast,
Written carefully in light that's built to last,
Every wave that ever broke you made you more,
You were born to hold the ocean and the shore

[Bridge]
The cosmos didn't make you soft, it made you whole,
Every wound became the compass, not a toll,
You don't need to be rebuilt or rearranged,
You were always meant to be exactly this, unchanged

[Outro]
The stars aligned their ink the night that you arrived,
And everything they wrote in you has always been alive,
You are held, you are guided, you are enough,
You were made from the same grace you've been giving out in love
