[Verse 1]
She carries calm like a second skin, still waters running deep,
A mind that maps the future while the rest of the world's asleep,
She loves like something sacred, like a tide that doesn't rush,
She reads the room before she speaks and feels before she touches,
They see the steady surface but they don't see the undertow,
The ocean underneath her chest that only she will ever know

[PreChorus]
She's been building something solid from the rubble of the years,
Turning every unanswered question into fuel instead of fear

[Chorus]
Tina, you were written in the language of the deep,
A fire behind the patience, a river in your sleep,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this space,
The cosmos carved you carefully and nothing's out of place

[Verse 2]
She's felt the pull of disappearing into someone else's need,
Given grace to everyone she loves while letting herself bleed,
The kind of heart that sees the light in people before they do,
Who holds the world together in the quiet hours no one knew,
She's wrestled with the dark and didn't flinch from what she found,
She descended to the depths and she still managed to come back around

[PreChorus]
The things they didn't see in her were never signs she wasn't enough,
She was always meant to lead with something quieter than tough

[Chorus]
Tina, you were written in the language of the deep,
A fire behind the patience, a river in your sleep,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this space,
The cosmos carved you carefully and nothing's out of place

[Verse 3]
There's a wound around belonging, around being truly seen,
Between the self she shows the world and all that lives between,
She's walked a path of service, built her worth with steady hands,
Defined herself by what she gave long before she understood her plans,
But the gifts she carries quietly were never hers to prove,
They're simply who she is when she stops moving and just lets herself be true

[PreChorus]
The world she's held together starts to shimmer when she rests,
She doesn't have to suffer to become her very best

[Chorus]
Tina, you were written in the language of the deep,
A fire behind the patience, a river in your sleep,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this space,
The cosmos carved you carefully and nothing's out of place

[Bridge]
She is rooted and she's reaching, she is ancient and she's new,
Every wound became a doorway, every loss a wider view,
She was never lost, just learning how to trust her own north star,
She was always held, she was always home, she was always who she are

[Outro]
Let the tide inside you finally feel the shore,
You were whole before the proving, you are whole now, nothing more
