[Verse 1]
Still waters on the surface, tides beneath the ground,
A mind that reads the room before a word comes out,
You carry what is broken like it's something to protect,
Patient as the earth itself, steady and direct,
There's an ocean in your chest that no one gets to see,
And every wave you hold inside is proof of what you'll be,

[PreChorus]
You've been the calm in someone else's storm so long,
You forgot to ask yourself just where you belong,

[Chorus]
Heli, you're the tide that moves the shore,
You're deeper than the dark behind the door,
The moon that guides without a word to prove,
The whole world shifts the moment you move,

[Verse 2]
You love like you're building something meant to last,
You hold the ones you cherish like they're from the past,
Every gesture tender, every silence full of weight,
You give before you're asked and never keep the slate,
But somewhere in the giving you've been leaving you behind,
Trading pieces of your peace for keeping others aligned,

[PreChorus]
The wound of wondering if your presence really counts,
Has made you climb a mountain that no proof can surmount,

[Chorus]
Heli, you're the tide that moves the shore,
You're deeper than the dark behind the door,
The moon that guides without a word to prove,
The whole world shifts the moment you move,

[Verse 3]
There's a restless flame beneath the calm you wear like stone,
A hunger for the vast and true, a kingdom of your own,
You think in roots and seasons, in what endures the freeze,
But there's a wild current in you that can split the oldest trees,
The shadows that you've wrestled with in silence and alone,
Are not the things that broke you — they're the things that forged your bone,

[PreChorus]
You've walked through transformation more than once, more than twice,
And every time you came back carrying something like moonlight,

[Chorus]
Heli, you're the tide that moves the shore,
You're deeper than the dark behind the door,
The moon that guides without a word to prove,
The whole world shifts the moment you move,

[Verse 4]
You see what people carry underneath the things they say,
A quiet kind of wisdom earned from not looking away,
The beauty in the ordinary calls you by your name,
You find the sacred in the small and love without a claim,
You don't need to be louder, brighter, faster, more refined,
The universe already wrote you carefully, and signed,

[PreChorus]
Your roots reach down to something ancient, something sure,
And everything you're growing toward is everything you are,

[Chorus]
Heli, you're the tide that moves the shore,
You're deeper than the dark behind the door,
The moon that guides without a word to prove,
The whole world shifts the moment you move,

[Bridge]
You are not the version shaped by every doubt and scar,
You are not the distance you have kept to guard your heart,
You are what remains when all the proving falls away,
You are the light the world keeps needing every day,

[Outro]
Let the tide come in, let the deep run free,
You were always whole, you were always the sea,
