[Verse 1]
There's a tide beneath the surface no one sees,
A quiet harbor holding everything it needs,
You carry every feeling like a stone worn smooth by years,
You've learned to make yourself useful when you'd rather disappear,
The calm they see is real, but so is what runs deep,
There's an ocean in you, vast enough to keep.

[PreChorus]
You've built your walls from service and from care,
Mistaking your own worth for what you do and share.

[Chorus]
But Bailey, you were written by the light,
The moon and tide conspired to get you right,
You don't have to earn the love that's yours to hold,
You were worthy before the story was told.

[Verse 2]
Your mind speaks in memory, in images and rain,
It catches what the world throws out and turns it into flame,
You sense what hides beneath the words that no one dares to say,
A compass in your chest that points to meaning anyway,
But sometimes trusting what you know costs more than it should take,
That doubt is not a weakness, it's precision in the making.

[PreChorus]
Your heart and mind wage quiet wars at night,
Two rivers meeting, both of them are right.

[Chorus]
And Bailey, you were written by the light,
The moon and tide conspired to get you right,
You don't have to earn the love that's yours to hold,
You were worthy before the story was told.

[Verse 3]
You love like something ancient, slow, and sure,
Not the kind that flickers — something that endures,
You give before you're asked and ask for almost nothing back,
And learning you deserve the love you give is not a flaw, it's fact,
There's a warmth in how you show up, grand and quietly divine,
Like the sun behind the clouds is still the reason things can shine.

[PreChorus]
You've felt the ache of being overlooked and small,
But the ones who give the most deserve the most of all.

[Chorus]
So Bailey, you were written by the light,
The moon and tide conspired to get you right,
You don't have to earn the love that's yours to hold,
You were worthy before the story was told.

[Verse 4]
You're meant to move beyond the world you've always known,
To trade the safe and certain for the beautifully unknown,
Not the restlessness of running, but the courage to expand,
There are philosophies inside you no one else can understand,
The cosmos didn't rush when it was writing what you'd be,
Every contradiction was a gift, not an apology.

[PreChorus]
You don't have to fix yourself to earn your place,
You were made for this, already full of grace.

[Chorus]
And Bailey, you were written by the light,
The moon and tide conspired to get you right,
You don't have to earn the love that's yours to hold,
You were worthy before the story was told.

[Bridge]
The shadows you've been carrying were never yours to own,
Every wound became the root of something deeply, quietly grown,
The world needs what you carry and can't find in anyone else,
Stop hiding all that tenderness — it belongs beyond yourself.

[Outro]
The stars don't make mistakes, and neither do you,
Bailey, you are held in everything that's true,
Let the tide come in, let the light remain,
You are whole right now, and you always were the same.
