[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside you nobody else can read,
A mind that moves like silver water, quick and freed,
You feel the world before the words have had their say,
And carry other people's storms throughout your day,
They see the still surface, calm and clear and bright,
They don't see how deep you dive to find the light,

[PreChorus]
But every current you've been swimming has a name,
And nothing you have weathered has been wasted or in vain,

[Chorus]
Jodie, you are the shoreline holding fast,
The kind of soul who's built to outlast,
Every wave that tried to pull you from the shore,
You were written for so much more,

[Verse 2]
You've loved in secret, given without asking why,
Tucked your tenderness behind a practiced eye,
The critic in your chest has never once gone quiet,
But that hunger for the good — that's not a flaw, it's a riot,
Of honest, beating purpose searching for its form,
Even perfectionists are made to rest between the storm,

[PreChorus]
The world is made of people who could use your kind of care,
But none of them need it more right now than you — and that is fair,

[Chorus]
Jodie, you are the shoreline holding fast,
The kind of soul who's built to outlast,
Every wave that tried to pull you from the shore,
You were written for so much more,

[Verse 3]
You love the way a river loves — it doesn't ask permission,
Grand and generous by instinct, not by decision,
But you've stood at the edge of trust and turned away,
Learned the cost of opening up and chose to stay,
Those closed doors weren't cowardice — they were earned,
Every lock a lesson from a fire that burned,

[PreChorus]
Connection is the country you were always meant to find,
And you deserve the kind of love that doesn't leave you behind,

[Chorus]
Jodie, you are the shoreline holding fast,
The kind of soul who's built to outlast,
Every wave that tried to pull you from the shore,
You were written for so much more,

[Verse 4]
You've questioned if your presence leaves a mark worth making,
Worn yourself to silence from the constant giving and taking,
But there are rooms that only breathe because you walked inside,
There are people who found steady ground within your tide,
The compass in your chest has always known the way,
Even on the nights you couldn't find a word to say,

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the space you take up in this world,
You were enough before the story was unfurled,

[Bridge]
The moon above your birth was full of questions and of grace,
The cosmos didn't rush you — it carved out your place,
You are not behind, not broken, not too late,
You are exactly what the world was asked to wait,

[Chorus]
Jodie, you are the shoreline holding fast,
The kind of soul who's built to outlast,
Every wave that tried to pull you from the shore,
You were written for so much more,

[Outro]
So rest here now, you've carried enough for two,
The tide comes home — and home has always been in you,
