[Verse 1]
She carries oceans underneath her skin,
A stillness on the surface, a storm within,
She reads the room before she reads the page,
A mind like lightning locked inside a cage,
She feels what no one says and knows what no one shows,
A depth that only deepens everywhere she goes.

[PreChorus]
They see the calm, they don't see the tide,
All those currents running wild inside.

[Chorus]
Clairese, you were written in the deep,
A soul too vast for anyone to keep,
You are the dream, the tide, the sacred ground,
The kind of light the darkness can't put down.

[Verse 2]
She's worked so hard to earn what should be hers by right,
Kept building through the silence, kept burning through the night,
She gives before she's asked and loves without a map,
Then wonders why she's tired, why she keeps coming back,
But every tender wound became a wider eye,
Every unanswered question taught her how to fly.

[PreChorus]
She turns her scars to something worth the keeping,
Roots grow strongest in the dark while she's sleeping.

[Chorus]
Clairese, you were written in the deep,
A soul too vast for anyone to keep,
You are the dream, the tide, the sacred ground,
The kind of light the darkness can't put down.

[Verse 3]
She hungers for a love that speaks without a sound,
The kind that doesn't cage her, the kind that holds her ground,
Her loyalty is ancient, her patience slow to break,
She builds her world with steady hands for someone else's sake,
But somewhere past the edges of the life she's learned to hold,
There's a path her whole becoming has been reaching for since old.

[PreChorus]
The cosmos mapped her careful, wrote her true,
Every twist was always leading her through.

[Chorus]
Clairese, you were written in the deep,
A soul too vast for anyone to keep,
You are the dream, the tide, the sacred ground,
The kind of light the darkness can't put down.

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn the right to rest,
You don't have to bleed to prove you're blessed,
The world needs what you carry, don't let go,
You are enough — you always were, you know.

[Outro]
So let the water rise and let the stars align,
Everything you are was always by design,
You are the depth, the dream, the sacred, and the free.
