[Verse 1]
There's a tide inside that nobody sees running,
A current so deep it keeps everything humming,
You feel every room before you walk through the door,
You carry the weight of a world you adore,
They see the still surface, the grace and the poise,
They don't hear the ocean beneath all that noise.

[PreChorus]
You've learned to be steady when everything shakes,
You've learned to be gentle with all that it takes.

[Chorus]
Talei, you were written in water and light,
A soul built for depth and a mind built for flight,
You don't have to earn what was yours from the start,
Talei, the cosmos carved home in your heart.

[Verse 2]
You love in the quiet, in details and care,
In showing up fully when no one's aware,
You've longed to be heard through the walls you've built tall,
You've spoken your truth and watched no one recall,
But every word you dared to give to the air
Was a bridge for the broken who needed it there.

[PreChorus]
You hold up the world with a hand no one holds,
You burn with a fire that time never colds.

[Chorus]
Talei, you were written in water and light,
A soul built for depth and a mind built for flight,
You don't have to earn what was yours from the start,
Talei, the cosmos carved home in your heart.

[Verse 3]
The places you've wandered in searching for truth,
The questions that kept you awake in your youth,
That hunger for meaning, for something that's real,
That ache you can't name but you always can feel,
It isn't a flaw and it isn't a fall,
It's the compass inside you that answers the call.

[PreChorus]
The path that you're walking was mapped before dawn,
And every step taken is proof you belong.

[Chorus]
Talei, you were written in water and light,
A soul built for depth and a mind built for flight,
You don't have to earn what was yours from the start,
Talei, the cosmos carved home in your heart.

[Bridge]
What you carry in silence has shaped you to lead,
The world needs exactly the light that you bleed,
Stop standing outside of the life you deserve,
You are not too much, you are not on the verge.

[Outro]
You were always enough, even when it felt thin,
The universe mapped every scar on your skin,
Talei, rest now, you are already found,
You were always held, you were always home-bound.
