[Verse 1]
You feel everything the world tries to name and file away
A current running under every ordinary day
They see the steady surface, never guess how deep it goes
A mind that maps the unseen things that only silence knows
You carry grace and gravity like two hands intertwined
The softest soul with iron roots and a visionary mind

[PreChorus]
You've learned to hold yourself together when no one held you first
And turned that quiet ache into the deepest kind of thirst

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the shore, the dream and the stone
Matthew, you were written by something older than bone
The stars mapped your name in the language of water and light
You are already whole, already enough, already right

[Verse 2]
You love like a prayer whispered into a winter sea
Something ancient, something boundless, something finally free
But you've stood on the edge of open hearts and talked yourself back in
Built the walls so carefully they almost looked like skin
You don't have to earn the room you take, you don't have to prove the flame
The way you love so deeply is itself a sacred claim

[PreChorus]
You were never too much and you were never not enough
The weight you've carried quietly was never yours to tough

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the shore, the dream and the stone
Matthew, you were written by something older than bone
The stars mapped your name in the language of water and light
You are already whole, already enough, already right

[Verse 3]
There's a fire in you that moves before the smoke can clear
A boldness doing its work behind the scenes, year after year
You think in constellations while the world thinks in straight lines
You see the truth beneath the truth, you read the hidden signs
That restlessness you carry is a compass, not a flaw
A hunger for a meaning deeper than what eyes can draw

[PreChorus]
The world was always asking you to shrink into a box
But something in you always knew those limits were a hoax

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the shore, the dream and the stone
Matthew, you were written by something older than bone
The stars mapped your name in the language of water and light
You are already whole, already enough, already right

[Verse 4]
Your calling isn't quiet, even when you move in silence
There's a legacy inside your hands built not on force but reliance
You came here to rebuild the things that mattered into truth
To bridge the gap between the dream and something lasting, something proof
The wound became a lantern and the lantern lit the way
You are not still becoming — you are here, and here is enough today

[PreChorus]
Let the current take you forward, you don't have to swim upstream
You were placed here with a purpose woven deeper than a dream

[Chorus]
You are the tide and the shore, the dream and the stone
Matthew, you were written by something older than bone
The stars mapped your name in the language of water and light
You are already whole, already enough, already right

[Bridge]
The cosmos wrote you carefully with ink that never fades
You are held inside the in-between, the light between the shades
Every contradiction is a doorway, not a scar
You don't have to reach for what you are — you already are

[Outro]
So rest inside the knowing that the universe held true
Every depth, every silence, every turning — all of it was you
The water always finds its way, and so will you, and so will you
