[Verse 1]
She carries the ocean where nobody looks,
A heart like a library of unfinished books,
She tends to the world with her quietest care,
Then wonders why no one asks how she fares,
There's a fire inside that the morning ignites,
A soul built for depth in a world of highlights

[PreChorus]
She's searched every distance to find what is true,
And all of that searching has shaped her right through

[Chorus]
Oh Paula, you are more than you know,
A current that runs where the deep waters go,
The cosmos etched you with infinite care,
There's a whole world of wonder in you standing there

[Verse 2]
She speaks from a place where the feelings run first,
Her words hold the rain for someone else's thirst,
She's built something steady on years and on trust,
Not loud, not for show — but because someone must,
She's longed to be held the way she holds the rest,
That longing itself is what makes her the best

[PreChorus]
The wound she has carried became her own light,
She turned what once broke her into something bright

[Chorus]
Oh Paula, you are more than you know,
A current that runs where the deep waters go,
The cosmos etched you with infinite care,
There's a whole world of wonder in you standing there

[Verse 3]
She's learned there are walls she no longer needs,
And grace growing quietly under the weeds,
The part she kept hidden is not her disgrace,
It's the anchor, the compass, the truest of base,
She gives before asking and loves without maps,
And somehow the whole world fits into those gaps

[PreChorus]
The stars that arranged her knew just what they made,
A woman of substance that won't ever fade

[Chorus]
Oh Paula, you are more than you know,
A current that runs where the deep waters go,
The cosmos etched you with infinite care,
There's a whole world of wonder in you standing there

[Bridge]
Every tide she has weathered was teaching her how,
Every quiet surrender is power right now,
She was written by something that never makes mistakes,
And she's everything real in a world full of fakes

[Outro]
So rest in the truth that was yours all along,
Paula, you've always belonged to this song
