[Verse 1]
There's an ocean underneath the calm you show the world
Tides that pull in every color, every wave uncurled
You feel everything before a word is ever said
Carrying the weight of rooms long after you have left
You've learned to build a quiet shell around the softest parts
But the depth inside you, that was never the hard part

[PreChorus]
You move like water finding every hidden crack
You give so much of yourself and never ask it back

[Chorus]
Nathan, you were written by the tide and the stars
Every scar a secret map of how far you are
You don't have to prove the ocean to the shore
You are deep enough, you are more than enough, you are more

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves like a current chasing far-off shore
Pulling ancient questions into something unexplored
You've stood between the dreamer and the one who gets things done
Building something steady underneath a restless sun
You've wondered if your worth lives in the things you do
But the world needs what you carry more than what you prove

[PreChorus]
You move like water finding every hidden crack
You give so much of yourself and never ask it back

[Chorus]
Nathan, you were written by the tide and the stars
Every scar a secret map of how far you are
You don't have to prove the ocean to the shore
You are deep enough, you are more than enough, you are more

[Verse 3]
You love like something ancient, like a prayer without a name
Like you'd burn yourself to embers just to keep someone from rain
You see the best in people even when it costs you sleep
You hold the ones you cherish in a place nobody sees
There's a tenderness you armor up and rarely let them find
But the way you love in silence is the rarest kind

[PreChorus]
You were made for something wider than this smaller ground
And the life you came to build has not yet been found

[Chorus]
Nathan, you were written by the tide and the stars
Every scar a secret map of how far you are
You don't have to prove the ocean to the shore
You are deep enough, you are more than enough, you are more

[Verse 4]
There's a compass in your chest that only you can read
Pointing past the noise and doubt toward everything you need
You've been the steady anchor when the storms came crashing through
Never letting anyone see what all that cost you
But the moon above that Cancer sky knows what you've weathered well
And it rises just for you in ways that words won't tell

[PreChorus]
You were made for something wider than this smaller ground
And the life you came to build has not yet been found

[Chorus]
Nathan, you were written by the tide and the stars
Every scar a secret map of how far you are
You don't have to prove the ocean to the shore
You are deep enough, you are more than enough, you are more

[Bridge]
The cosmos didn't rush when it was writing you
Every contradiction part of something true
You are not too much, you have never been too deep
You are exactly everything the world came here to keep

[Outro]
So rest in what you are and let the current guide
Nathan, you were always the whole ocean, not the tide
