[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the fire you wear,
Still water running deep beneath the lion's stare,
You feel everything at once and let them see the calm,
While tides are pulling hard beneath your open palm,
You dream in frequencies that most will never find,
A universe compressed inside a searching mind,

[PreChorus]
You've been pouring light into every empty room,
Forgetting there was something meant to bloom in you,

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the flame and the open sky,
The kind of soul that asks how deep before they ask how high,
Every wave that tried to break you only taught you how to rise,
You were written in the dark and born to light the night,

[Verse 2]
You love like something ancient and immediate and true,
A spark that burns before the world can catch up to you,
You give before you're asked and hold the door for everyone,
But quietly you wonder if you're ever anyone's sun,
You've worn that question like a weight you can't put down,
Not knowing that the wondering itself became your crown,

[PreChorus]
The walls you built were never weakness, never shame,
They were shelter while you learned to trust your name,

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the flame and the open sky,
The kind of soul that asks how deep before they ask how high,
Every wave that tried to break you only taught you how to rise,
You were written in the dark and born to light the night,

[Verse 3]
You've carried what was handed down and never asked for more,
Gone digging through the roots to find what all that weight was for,
And somewhere in the excavation, something turned to gold,
The very things that broke you early made you someone bold,
You fight for those you love with everything you cannot say,
A quiet kind of courage that burns brightest in the grey,

[PreChorus]
You don't need permission to take up the space you're owed,
Every step you've taken has been tilling sacred ground,

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the flame and the open sky,
The kind of soul that asks how deep before they ask how high,
Every wave that tried to break you only taught you how to rise,
You were written in the dark and born to light the night,

[Verse 4]
There's a compass inside you that points beyond the known,
Past the borrowed answers toward a truth that's all your own,
You think in poetry and feel in open seas,
A mind that breaks the question down until the question breathes,
The world does not deserve the half of what you bring,
But bring it all the same — that's your offering,

[PreChorus]
You are not behind, you are not lost, you're not too much,
You are exactly where the stars intended you to touch,

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the flame and the open sky,
The kind of soul that asks how deep before they ask how high,
Every wave that tried to break you only taught you how to rise,
You were written in the dark and born to light the night,

[Bridge]
Let the current carry what you cannot hold alone,
Every depth you've crossed has only carved you closer home,
You were never too intense, too lost, too soft, too wide,
You were always more than enough — the whole ocean inside,

[Outro]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that never fades,
You are the tide returning, you are every dawn it made,
Rest now in the knowing — you have always been enough,
You are the light they're looking for when everything goes dark,
