[Verse 1]
The tide comes in before the world wakes up
A heart that holds the ocean in a cup
Soft on the surface, stone beneath the skin
A fortress built from everything felt within
They see the calm, they never see the flood
The roots run deeper than the mind understood

[PreChorus]
You carry everyone before you carry you
But all that weight you hold is proof of what you're made to do

[Chorus]
You are the shore that never turns the sea away
You are the moon that rises even in the grey
Ancient and deliberate, tender and true
The cosmos wrote this world and then it carefully wrote you

[Verse 2]
You speak and something golden fills the room
A mind that blooms like language in full bloom
You weigh each word before it leaves your tongue
A diplomat of feeling, wise and young
You've ached to be acknowledged, truly known
Not for what you've built, but for what you've grown

[PreChorus]
The ground beneath your dreams is stronger than you know
Every quiet sacrifice has been the seed you sow

[Chorus]
You are the shore that never turns the sea away
You are the moon that rises even in the grey
Ancient and deliberate, tender and true
The cosmos wrote this world and then it carefully wrote you

[Verse 3]
You've wrestled with the pull of who you're meant to be
Between the need for structure and the need to breathe
The part that serves the world without a sound
And the part that's aching to be finally found
But every scar became a kind of knowing
Every wound, a quiet lamp still glowing

[PreChorus]
You don't have to earn the right to rest inside your worth
You were whole before you ever tried to prove your place on earth

[Chorus]
You are the shore that never turns the sea away
You are the moon that rises even in the grey
Ancient and deliberate, tender and true
The cosmos wrote this world and then it carefully wrote you

[Bridge]
Let the tide return to you for once, let it come home
You've given enough light to know you don't have to shine alone
The stars that mapped your path have held you all along
What you call your breaking point is where you found your song

[Outro]
You are guided, you are held, you are enough
Not because you're perfect, but because you never stopped loving
The universe keeps turning back to you
And it knows exactly what it made when it made you
